Corumbá IV is a 127 MW hydroelectric power plant located in Brazil. Commissioned in 2006, it contributes to the country's renewable energy generation from hydro sources. This facility ranks as the 135th largest hydro plant in Brazil. With a capacity of 127 MW, it represents 0.07% of Brazil's total hydro capacity of 180,234 MW. Brazil has 720 hydro plants with a combined capacity of 180,234 MW. Compared to the largest hydro plant, the Itaipu Dam at 14,000 MW, Corumbá IV is about 0.91% the size. Hydropower is essential to Brazil's energy landscape, providing approximately 60% of the country's electricity. The vast river systems, particularly the Amazon and Paraná, facilitate extensive hydroelectric development. The plant is located approximately 500 km northwest of Brasília in the Central-West region.
