Its 12,600-megawatt capacity powers Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo in Brazil along with 93% of Paraguay's power.

Since, the dam is on the border between Paraguay and Brazil they have a joint agreement. Paraguay gets 50% and Brazil gets 50% of the electricity from the dam. However, Paraguay has a population of 6 million people and Brazil has a population of 200 million. As a result, Paraguay only keeps 5% of Itaipu’s power and sells the rest back to Brazil. Making Paraguay the largest exporter of hydroelectric power.
