12 March 2008 - Brazil has decided in principle to build two hydropower plants along its borders with Bolivia and Argentina, the country's energy minister said.

"The political decision has been taken ... we're studying when they will be built," Energy Minister Edson Lobao told reporters in Rio de Janeiro.

The two plants are to have a combined capacity of 12 000 MW, Lobao said.

Ministers from the three countries will meet this month to discuss the plans, Lobao said.

Brazil is already building two large hydroelectric plants along the Madeira River, near the Bolivian border.
