Central Hidroeléctrica Yacyretá
Yacyretá is a binational hydropower dam shared by Paraguay and Argentina. It matters for energy, infrastructure, compensation disputes, and relations between the two countries.
Former director of the Entidad Binacional Yacyretá, Nicanor Duarte Frutos, warned that Paraguay could consume all of its available energy in about 10 years and called for investment in new energy projects and the strengthening of the national industry.
