Itaipu is mostly considered a brazillian infrastructure. Brazil paid for most of the construction, which is why they negotiated very good deals on the agreement with paraguay, which is the size of a brazillian municipality. They pay like $20 per Kw instead of the $400 the market would pay.

the deal is up now btw, so the media is covering paraguay attempt to renegotiate it.



> Paraguay, which is the size of a brazillian municipality.

That's understating that country's size a lot; it's the size of a Brazilian state, not a Brazilian municipality (even if you consider the huge municipalities in the Amazon region).


He's talking about population, not physical size.
