The Parigot de Souza Plant:

The Governor Pedro Viriato Parigot de Souza Hydroelectric Plant has a capacity of 260 MW and is located in the municipality of Antonina. Its reservoir is located on BR-116 Highway (Curitiba – São Paulo stretch), in the municipality of Campina Grande do Sul, 50 km from Curitiba.

The Parigot de Souza Plant began operations in October 1970 and was officially inaugurated on January 26, 1971, when it began commercial operations. It is the largest underground plant in the south of the country.

Initially known as Capivari-Cachoeira, the plant was renamed in honor of Governor Pedro Viriato Parigot de Souza, who led Paraná from 1971 to 1973 and was also president of Copel.

In 2000, the Plant underwent the installation of a generator-turbine shaft oscillation and vibration supervision system, along with preventive and corrective maintenance, such as injector nozzle replacement, stator recovery, and others. With the modernization of the equipment, there was a gain of 2 MW per generator, increasing the plant’s capacity from 252 MW to the current 260 MW.
