The Usina Hidrelétrica de Irapé, located in the Jequitinhonha Valley region of Minas Gerais near Berilo and the district of Lelivéldia, is a major engineering marvel. It features the highest dam wall in Brazil, standing at $682\text{ ft}$ ($208\text{ m}$) tall. Managed by CEMIG (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais), the plant handles critical high-capacity electricity generation and water resource management for the state.

To legally operate a drone in the open buffer zones near the Irapé dam, pilots must obtain explicit formal authorization from CEMIG, register the equipment with ANAC, secure mandatory third-party liability insurance, and file a formal flight plan via DECEA's SARPAS NG portal. Unauthorized operators face immediate detention by facility security or local law enforcement, equipment seizure, and federal prosecution for endangering essential public utilities.
