Original: Itaipu studies up to 1 GW of solar to support Paraguay’s power grid
The Itaipu dam authority is studying plans to add up to 1 GW of solar power to help support Paraguay's electricity grid, according to pv magazine Global. The project would diversify the country's energy mix, which currently relies heavily on hydroelectric generation from the Itaipu plant on the Paraná River shared with Brazil.
Why now: Interest in grid stability and energy diversification in Paraguay as solar plans would mark a shift beyond the dam's hydro dominance
