The Xalalá hydroelectric dam is a proposed development project in Ixcán. It is controversial because it will flood 31.8 km2 and displace twelve Q'eqchi' Maya communities.https://web.archive.org/web/20070610143754/http://www.nisgua.org/get_involved/speakers_tour/2006/LetterXalala2006.pdfIt is a project of the Plan Puebla Panama. The dam is opposed by the Organizational Commission of the Community Consultation of Good Faith,Ixcán, which wants the Instituto Nacional de Electrificación (INDE) to complete consultations with local indigenous groups pursuant to the International Labour Organization Convention No. 169, Article 7. The municipal government called for such a consultation on 2007-04-20.https://web.archive.org/web/20070607021237/http://www.nisgua.org/themes_campaigns/index.asp?id=2867
