The first EDF Group hydroelectric project in Brazil, the Sinop dam, located in the state of Mato Grosso, was commissioned in October 2019, four years after construction began. As part of the programme implemented during the dam's construction and targeting those people who were displaced by the dam, NTPC has supported the construction of houses for all of the households concerned, two clinics and 32 schools, as well as the implementation of a programme to support economic activities (forestry, agriculture, fishing, etc .), which has helped improve the living conditions of local communities over the long term.
