BRASILIA, Brazil — A judge Friday overturned a decision that could have delayed construction of a huge Amazon hydroelectric dam opposed by environmentalists, Indians and Hollywood director James Cameron.
The judge in the capital of Brasilia reversed a decision to suspend contract bidding set for next week and also overturned the suspension of the environmental license for the 11,000-megawatt Belo Monte dam, according to a statement from Brazil’s solicitor general.
Federal prosecutor Renato Brill de Goes, acting on behalf of dam opponents, said an appeal would be filed, but he did not say when.
