Institutional CTG – The Engenheiro Souza Dias Hydroelectric Plant (Jupiá) was built with entirely Brazilian technology and completed in 1974.
It is located on the Paraná River, between the cities of Andradina and Castilho (SP) and Três Lagoas (MS). Its concession was acquired by CTG Brazil in a bidding process by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, conducted in November 2015. Together with the Ilha Solteira Plant, it makes up the sixth largest hydroelectric complex in the world. The plant also has a lock, which allows navigation and inter-waterway integration between the Paraná and Tietê rivers.
