Nova Avanhandava Dam

Nova Avanhandava Dam stretches 2038 meters across the Tietê River, incorporating three Kaplan turbine-generators that produce 347.4 megawatts of electrical power.

The construction of this substantial infrastructure project reached completion in 1982, marking a significant advancement in Brazil's hydroelectric power generation capabilities.

The dam's reservoir supports local fishing communities who maintain traditional practices while adapting to the modified river environment created by the infrastructure.

Two ship locks facilitate commercial navigation along the Tietê River, enabling vessels to traverse different water levels while maintaining regular maritime traffic.

The facility forms part of the Tietê River cascade system, where multiple dams work in sequence to maximize power generation and water resource management.
