The Belo Monte Dam is being built primarily to meet Brazil's growing energy demands and to provide a significant source of renewable energy through hydroelectric power. It is expected to generate around 11,000 megawatts, making it one of the largest hydroelectric projects in the world. However, the project has faced significant controversy due to its environmental impacts, displacement of indigenous communities, and potential harm to local ecosystems in the Amazon rainforest. Proponents argue it is essential for economic development and energy security, while critics highlight the social and environmental costs.
