We will renegotiate the 1973 Itaipu treaty by which Paraguay sells 45% (from our 50 %) of hydroelectric power to Brazil but at prices that have been pegged at low levels. Legally, though, this treaty is in force until 2023... The 95 % Brazil used to supplied 20% of that consumed by Brazil as of 2005.. As I said "natural resources is priceless" ..if Brazil doesn't want to renegotiate .. You just have to move the dam to your country if you can..

A Lake ?.. That's the Paraná River .. We owned 50% of the energy from Itaipú & We use just the 5% which supplied 93% of the energy consumed by Paraguay and Brazil used the rest 'cause we want to...

Itaipu Dan uses resorses from a lake that is on the frontier of Brasil and Paraguay.

Brasil own 90% of the energy because Brasil enter whit 90% of the money, and yet Brasil buy 60% of the 10% of Paraguay.

so conclusions: Paraguay yses 4% of itaipu dam to supply the entaire country, in other hand brasil uses 96% tho supply only the sothweast.

That's what Brazil wants but the Itaipú dam uses entirely Paraguay natural resources which is priceless .. We should start using wisely our 50% and export energy not just to Brazil..

90% brazil, 10% paraguay...the respectives owners
