The first sentence (from the page) has rather ambiguous grammar. I believe the intention is to indicate the kilowatt-hours produced during some period of time, without that it appear in conflict with the next paragraph?
From the page: ------------------
There are two machine rooms with ten generators each producing a total of 87 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity and saves 300,000 barrels of oil a day. The walls in room number two were decorated by the kinetic Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Díez.
The Hydroelectric Power station Guri, was constructed in the Necuima Canyon, 100 kilometers waters above of the mouth of the Caroní River in the Orinoco. The development of Guri in his first stage began in 1963 and was finalized in 1978 with a capacity of 2,065 megawatts in 10 units and with the dam to a maximum level of 215 meters above the level of the sea. The final stage of the dam of Guri concluded in 1986 and allowed to elevate the level of the dam to the maximum level of 272 m a.s.l., being constructed the second power plant that houses 10 units of 630 MW each. At the present Guri moments occupies the second place in hydroelectric plants in the World, with his 10,200 MW of installed capacity total. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.7.217.10 ( talk) 20:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

The article is missing a comprehensive description of the turbines that were installed in what seems to have been three distinct stages: their types (Francis, Kaplan, which ones?), their physical characteristics and dimensions, their power ratings, etc. Moreover, the dam and its power generators have been placed in grave danger by relentless exploitation in the face of ever lower water levels, caused by the severe drought from mid-2015 to April 2016. It only takes the contribution of one or more Venezuelan engineers, familiar with the installed power plants. Those turbines have faced the decay of almost two decades of neglect, mismanagement, lack of proper care and maintenance, you name it, as has been the rule with the current --but ailing-- chavista government, compromising the integrity of those huge and expensive equipment and companion installations. The article is lacking a lot of recent information on these subjects. -- AVM ( talk) 21:10, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

I have moved the following paragraph from the article page:
"The total projected hydroelectric capacity is 10,235 megawatts, one of the largest in the world."
I have found sources that give the power producing capacity of the power plant as 10,025MW [3], 10,200MW [4], 10,235 MW [5], and 10,300MW [6]. I cannot vouch for the reliability of each source, so there needs to a discussion of which source to use, or if the article needs to be somewhat vague as to how much power the plant produces. - Donald Albury 20:59, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Since es:Embalse de Guri (Guri Reservoir) "is one of the largest on earth," I've added a Template:Ill to the Spanish article, as I have stated in my Edit Summaries and attempted to delete the previous redirect. X1\ ( talk) 22:21, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
