SMALL HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATION YATA

 

SECTOR: ENERGY

 

 

 

 
 

 

  General Description:

  The main objective of the project is the electricity supply to the populations Guayaramerin,

  Riberalta and Cachuela Esperanza (Beni) by renewable hydro energy through the small

  hydropower station in substitution the actual diesel generation decreasing the cost per

  kWH. The project will be implemented in three phases, the first one of 500 kW, the second

  one 2000 KW and the third 6000 kW. The project consists in a low head hydro scheme

  with inflated dams to regulate the water flow and level, especially in dry season, using the

  “cachuelas” (small waterfalls) to create a difference in the river level, which is required for

  the hydroenergy generation. The hydroturbines to be implanted are: low head propeller

  and synchronous generators 380V/50Hz of frequency. The electrical line to consumption

  center will be extended in a 30 km by 34.5 kV of voltage.

 

  Project lifetime:

  40 years.

 

  Accreditation period:

  21 years.

 

  Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions:

  Up to and including 2012:  166,589 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 7 years: 134,202 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 10 years: 220,732 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 14 years:  278,419 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 21 years:  538,009 tCO2e

 

  Project Benefits:

  With the present project the energy price payed at the moment by the consumer will be

  reduced in a range of 31.81% to 36.36%. With a cheaper energy, it will be possible to

  encourage industrial development.

 

  More population will receive the benefits of the use of the electricity.

 

  Reduce the emissions of GHG due to the use of diesel 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 has a PIN and the Note of interest.
