Marimbondo Dam, Hydroelectric power station on Grande River, São Paulo, Brazil.
The Marimbondo Dam stretches 3,100 meters across the Grande River with eight power generators producing 1,440 megawatts of electrical capacity for the region.
The construction of this massive infrastructure project commenced in 1971, with all eight generators becoming fully operational by January 1977.
The dam represents Brazil's commitment to renewable energy sources, contributing to the national power grid that supplies electricity to millions of residents.
Nine spillway floodgates, each measuring 15 meters wide and 18.85 meters high, control water flow with a discharge capacity of 21,400 cubic meters per second.
The reservoir created by the dam covers 438 square kilometers and holds 6,150 million cubic meters of water at its maximum operational level of 447.36 meters.
