Motivation This took me a long time to discover what 'Urubupunga' refers to. Googling only seems to show a bus-stop in Sao Paulo.

I eventually found this source: https://www.google.ie/books/edition/Survey_of_the_Brazilian_Economy/0gQpMyluTaMC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Urubupunga&pg=RA1-PA170&printsec=frontcover

Which says:

CELUSA (Centrais Eletricas de Urubupungá) created in 1961 to harness the Urubupungá falls through the construction of two large plants: Jupiá [... and...] Ilha Solteira

Jupiá was since renamed to Engineer Souza Dias

The second case is described in Wikipedia

We should also add accents to the relevant terms.
