THE SAN RAMÓN RURAL ELECTRIFICATION PROJECT

 

SECTOR: ENERGY

 

 

 

 
 

 

  General Description:

  San Ramón Rural Electrification Project displaces electricity produced by diesel generators

  with natural gas fuelled generators. Thus, reducing the emission of greenhouse gases

 (GHGs) and improving the power generation and distribution in the North Chiquitania

 region of Santa Cruz.

 

  The project has a cumulative capacity of 2.880 kW, three groups based on gas with 960

  kW. It has MT lines of 153 km and BT lines of 130 km. It establishes 2,800 connections that

  benefit about 14,000 households, which is the half of the population of the area. The

  energy produced is 9,000 MWh/year and the energy service started on April 2000.

 

  Project lifetime:

  40 years.

 

  Accreditation period:

  21 years.

 

  Baseline Methodology:

  Indicative Simplified baseline and monitoring for selected small-scale CDM project activity

  categories. Type III – Other Project Activities; Category III. B Switching fossil fuels

  Version 7 of AMS-III.B Switching fossil fuels.

  Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions:

  Total estimated reductions: 45,574 t CO2e

  Annual average: 2170.2 t CO2e

 

  Project Benefits:

  The project allows non stop and reliable energy provision.

  The project replaced a fragmented system of low voltage small plants.

  San Ramon has created a significant potential for the economic growth and the social

  development of the region

 

  The project reduces the GHG emissions due to the use of natural gas for generation’s

  purposes.

 

  Total Project cost estimate:

  1st Phase: 815,000 US$

  2nd Phase: 1,545,000 US$

  3rd Phase: 4,120,000 US$

  Total: 6,480,000 US$

 

  Current Status:

  The project disposes of the Note of Interest. The PDD is done and the bolivian government

  issued the National Letter of Aproval on 27/2/2007.
