General Description:
The Rio Taquesi Hydroelectric Power system aims to prevent the emission of
around 5
million metric tons of GHG over its 35 years life, by displacing
electricity that would be
supplied to the Bolivian grid by fossil fuel power
plants dispatched if the project would not
be implemented. The Taquesi
system pursues to produce electricity through the operation
of 89.5 MW (in
the aggregate) hydroelectric generating plants along the Taquesi and
Unduavi
rivers. The system consists of two hydroelectric plants in La Chojlla
(around 38
MW) and Yanacachi Norte (almost 52 MW), a 115 kV switch yard
adjacent to ENDE’s
existing substation in Pichu and around 5.2 km of double
circuit 115 kV transmission line
and 7.3 km of single circuit transmission
line.
