The Jupiá reservoir (which is also named after the place Três Lagoas or today after Engenheiro Sousa Dias) is a reservoir on the Rio Paraná in the Brazilian state of São Paulo . The dam was built between the towns of Andradina e Castilho ( São Paulo ) and Três Lagoas ( Mato Grosso do Sul ), 2617 river kilometers above Buenos Aires and just below the former confluence of the Rio Paraná and Rio Tietê .

The hydropower plant (Portuguese: Usina Hidrelétrica Engenheiro Souza Dias ) is named after the engineer Souza Dias and is operated by the electricity supplier CESP . It has 14 machine units with Kaplan turbines and generators with a total installed output of 1,551.2 MW in two groups (14 times 110.8 MW). In addition, auxiliary units with 4.75 MW are installed in each group. The hydropower plant is currently roughly the tenth largest in Brazil. It went into operation in 1969.

The barrier structure is a combination of an earth and stone embankment on both sides and a gravity dam in the middle. The dams are 2385 m plus 2070 m long, the dam wall 1040 m, together 5495 m. Another indication for the total length is 5604 m. The height difference of 23 m is overcome by the shipping in a lock . The waterway on the Rio Tietê can be reached from the reservoir. The reservoir , which is either 330 or 544 km² in size, extends to the Três Irmãos reservoir on the Rio Tietê and Ilha Solteira on the Paraná.
