Samuel Hydroelectric Dam, Hydroelectric power station in Rondônia, Brazil
The Samuel Hydroelectric Dam stretches 1011 meters across the Jamari River, incorporating power generation facilities with a capacity of 216 megawatts.
The construction of Samuel Dam began in 1982 and concluded in 1989, marking a major infrastructure development period in the Brazilian state of Rondônia.
The construction of Samuel Dam transformed local communities, leading to population displacement and changes in traditional fishing practices along the Jamari River.
The facility supplies electricity to the regional power grid, meeting over half of Rondônia state's energy requirements through renewable hydroelectric generation.
The reservoir created by Samuel Dam covers 560 square kilometers of former forest land and manages 3.2 billion cubic meters of water capacity.
