Located in the Paraná River, between the cities of Andradina and Castilho (SP) and Três Lagoas (MS), the Jupiá Hydroelectric Power Plant has a sluice, under the responsibility of the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT), that enables navigation and integration of the waterways between the Paraná and Tietê rivers.
Installed capacity: 1,551.2 MW
Start of operation: April 14, 1969
End of concession: April 17, 2047
CTG Brasil’s share: 67%
Energy Generation in 2022: 5,585,315.02 MWh
On average, the plant generated enough energy to supply a city with about 1,9 million inhabitants.
From a pioneering initiative, the plant began to be built in 1961 and the first three generating units entered operation in 1969. A sluice was implemented in the dam to allow navigation in the Paraná River and the waterway integration with the Tietê River. The plant represented a new perspective of economic growth in the region and a way to Mercosur, interconnecting the river system of the Paraná River to the São Paulo road network and the Midwest region of the country.

Considered a milestone of technological development in the construction of large plants in Brazil, the Jupiá HPP has research centers, such as hydraulic, and soil and concrete laboratories.
Since 2019, Jupiá HPP has been in process of modernization, together with Ilha Solteira HPP, in the largest project of plant modernization in progress in Brazil, involving an investment of R$3 billion. The initiative reinforces CTG Brasil’s long-term commitment to the country, contributes to the Brazilian energy sector, and increases the reliability of the plants, which have been generating clean energy for over 40 years.
