Eng Souza Dias Dam, Hydroelectric power station on Paraná River, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Eng Souza Dias Dam extends 5,495 meters across the Paraná River with a height of 53 meters, incorporating concrete and earth-fill embankments.

Construction of the dam began following feasibility studies in 1951, with generators progressively commissioned between 1969 and 1974 to meet regional power demands.

The naming of the dam honors the contributions of Brazilian engineering expertise in developing national hydroelectric infrastructure.

The facility generates 1,551.2 megawatts through 14 Kaplan turbines, supplying renewable energy to communities and industries in the surrounding region.

The dam's spillway system includes 37 floodgates capable of discharging 44,696 cubic meters of water per second during peak water management operations.
