Tapajós hydroelectric complex, Hydroelectric complex in Pará, Brazil.
The Tapajós hydroelectric complex includes seven dams on the Tapajós and Jamanxim rivers, spanning across the middle and lower Tapajós basin.
Initial surveys for the complex began between 1986 and 1991, with project assessments resuming in the early 2000s before facing governmental delays.
The development affects multiple indigenous territories, including the Munduruku land, where the Chacorão dam plans indicate flooding of 18,700 hectares.
The complex aims to generate 12,000 megawatts of power while creating a navigable waterway that reduces soybean transportation costs from R$227 to R$60 per ton.
The project follows a platform model where workers and materials arrive by river or helicopter, eliminating the need for access road construction.
