  "account": "A proposed US$5 billion dam, the Corpus Christi, has been floated by Enrique Guardo, the representative of the Comisión Mixta del Río Paraná. The dam, to be built on the Paraná river in Argentina's Misiones province, would generate electricity comparable to Yacyretá, a large binational plant downstream, while covering a smaller area of land. The project, however, remains in the prefeasibility stage and faces a binding plebiscite requirement in Misiones. No construction contract, financing package or binational agreement has been announced, and voter approval in Misiones is a crucial step before the project can advance. The project is separate from the Entidad Binacional Yacyretá's Aña Cuá expansion of the Yacyretá complex.",
  "summary": "A representative of the Comisión Mixta del Río Paraná floated a US$5 billion price tag for the binational Corpus Christi dam, with output comparable to Yacyretá. The project remains at prefeasibility stage and requires a binding plebiscite in Misiones. The post Corpus Christi Dam Floated at US$5 Billion for Paraná River appeared first on The Rio Times .",
