The South American hydropower facility set records for energy generation

On average, Itaipu generates around 90 terawatt-hours of electricity annually. It set a record by generating 103.1 TWh in 2016 (surpassed in 2020 by Three Gorges’ 111.8-TWh output). To put 100 TWh into perspective, a power plant would need to burn approximately 50 million tonnes of coal to produce the same amount of energy, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

If you have suggestions of other free and cool magazines let me know. I really liked Nature (news) site, but recently they've put everything under a paywall.
