| Legal status | Mining is legal but requires authorisation, and electricity supply is governed by ANDE. Informal connections have been actively prosecuted, so a legitimate tariff contract is the licence to operate. |

Paraguay mining FAQ
Why is Paraguay so cheap for mining?+
Surplus hydroelectricity from the Itaipu Dam. Paraguay is a small country beside one of the largest hydro plants in the world and cannot consume its share domestically, so it sells the surplus to large industrial loads at rates hard to match anywhere in the Americas.
