Shasta Dam, which was completed in 1945 on the upper Sacramento River northwest of Redding, is the second-largest reservoir run by the Bureau of Reclamation in the country, behind Grand Coulee Dam in Washington.
The Itaipu Dam opened in 1984 in South America as the largest, producing 14,000 MW but was surpassed in 2008 by the Three Gorges Dam in China at 22,500 MW. Hydroelectricity would eventually supply some countries, including Norway, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Paraguay and Brazil, with over 85% of their electricity.
