Iguaçu Act<br />
<br />
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs<br />
of Brazil and Paraguay signed on<br />
June 22, 1966, the Iguaçu Act,<br />
declaring their intention to carry<br />
out, in joint agreement, the study<br />
and evaluation of the technical<br />
and economic feasibility of the<br />
development of the hydraulic<br />
resources in the stretch of the<br />
Paraná River that constitutes<br />
t h e i r b o r d e r .
Feasibility Studies /<br />
Basic Project Design<br />
<br />
<br />
The studies were under the responsibility of the IECO- ELC Consortium,<br />
established by International Engineering Company, San Francisco (USA), and<br />
<strong>El</strong>etroconsult, , of Milan (Italy).<br />
Feasibility Studies :<br />
• Identified 10 sites to concentrate the studies and unfolded 50 different d<br />
project<br />
alternatives;<br />
• All the alternatives were studied and compared, narrowing the selection to 2<br />
schemes:<br />

ITAIPU Treaty<br />
Signed in April 1973 between Brazil and Paraguay<br />
OBJECTIVE – Purpose of the Treaty<br />
Article I:<br />
“... The hydroelectrical use of the water resources of the Paraná river, which belong<br />
in condominium to both countries, from and including the Salto Grande de Sete<br />
Quedas falls or Salto del Guairá falls, up to the confluence with the Iguaçu river.”<br />
ITAIPU´s <strong>Energy</strong><br />
Article XIII:<br />
“The energy produced (...) will be equally divided between both countries, each<br />
being entitled (...) to buy the energy that is not employed by the other country for its<br />
own use.”<br />
Sole Paragraph:<br />
“Both High Contracting Parties mutually pledge to purchase jointly or separately, as<br />
accorded between them, the total installed capacity.”’
ITAIPU Treaty<br />
Ownership of the Plant<br />
ITAIPU belongs to ELETROBRÁS and ANDE which equally share its assets.<br />
ITAIPU’s Mandate<br />
Both countries give the right to ITAIPU to exploit the hydroelectric resources of<br />
the Parana river, on the forementioned part, during the validity period of the<br />
Treaty.<br />
Borders<br />
The installations and civil works erected in compliance with the Treaty shall<br />
cause no variation in the border between the two countries, nor a country will<br />
have property or jurisdiction rights over any portion of the other country´s<br />
territory.
Principles for setting the tariff are established in the ITAIPU Treaty<br />
Tariff is set each year taking into account:<br />
Payment of interest and amortization of loans (service of debt);<br />
CHARGES OF THE TREATY<br />
Payment of:<br />
(i) Royalties<br />
(ii) compensation for the use of the Paraguayan half of ITAIPU’s energy<br />
(iii) supervisory charges to ANDE and ELETROBRÁS<br />
(iv) interest on the capital, to ANDE and ELETROBRÁS<br />
Amount necessary to cover exploitation costs. Operational, management<br />
and corporate costs included;<br />
The yearly expenses must match revenue;<br />
Costs will be distributed in portion to contracted power.<br />

CAPITAL: US$ 100 million<br />
(50% Brazilian, 50% Paraguayan)<br />
<br />
CONSTRUCTION LOANS:<br />
• Direct cost: US$ 11.7 bi (Loans from 1974 to 1998)<br />
• Interest on Loans: US$ 7.9 bi<br />
<br />
REVENUE<br />
• ITAIPU sells the availability of power (not energy)<br />
• Revenue is to match expenses<br />
• Brazil must buy the power not used by Paraguay<br />
• Brazilian electric utilities must purchase ITAIPU´s<br />
power (Federal Law 5899/73).

ITAIPU Hydroelectric Power Plant
Summing Up<br />
ITAIPU’s Performance<br />
The cumulative power generation of the Itaipu hydro<br />
power plant has reached 1,500 TWh (March 06 2007);<br />
That means 15x10 6 ton.CO 2eq.<br />
If that power had been generated by:<br />
Gas: it’d have been 40 times more: 600x10 6 ton.CO 2eq.<br />
Oil: it’d have been 70 times more: 1,050x10 6 ton.CO 2eq.<br />
Coal: it’d have been 90 times more: 1,350x10 6 ton.CO 2eq.
Summing Up<br />
ITAIPU’s Performance<br />
The performance of the generating units is extremely<br />
satisfactory, even after 22 years of operations;<br />
Equipment performance was enhanced through 170<br />
design modifications devised and implemented by<br />
ITAIPU;
Summing Up<br />
ITAIPU’s Performance<br />
The structural behavior of the dam, the powerhouse<br />
and the spillway is excellent, as attested by a<br />
Board of International Independent Consultants;<br />
Environmental protection measures taken in the<br />
reservoir area have avoided silting.<br />
The HDI of the municipalities surrounding the ITAIPU<br />
reservoir rate among the highest in Brazil.
Final Comments<br />
Fair partnerships between countries with asymmetrical<br />
economies are feasible;<br />
Hydro plants managed with focus on sustainability have<br />
immediate and lasting positive impacts on the<br />
neighboring communities;<br />
Hydroelectric power generation is a renewable, clean<br />
and reliable source of energy, accessible to developing<br />
nations;
Thank you
