Although its designed peak generating capacity is only 14,000 MW, behind the 22,500 MW [[Three Gorges Dam]], the dam formerly held the record for energy production with 101.6 TWh produced in 2016. This record was beaten in 2020, when the Three Gorges Dam produced a new record 111.8 TWh after extensive monsoon rainfall that year.<ref>{{cite web |title=Three Gorges Dam sets power generation record in 2020 |url=http://www.china.org.cn/business/2021-01/02/content_77072855.htm |access-date=31 May 2021}}</ref>

In the period 2012–2021, the Itaipu Dam maintained the second highest average annual hydroelectric production in the world averaging 89.22 TWh per year, second to the 97.22 TWh per year average of the Three Gorges Dam in that period.
