HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATION INSTALLED CAPACITY EXPANSION OF THE EMPRESA ELÉCTRICA VALLE HERMOSO S.A (EEVH)

 

 

SECTOR: ENERGY

 

 

 

 
 

 

  Project Description:

  EEVH wishes to enlarge its hydroelectric capacity by uprating two existing hydroelectric

  power plants and building a new one at the Yura basin located in the Tomave township in

  the Potosí Department, Bolivia and by developing two additional hydroelectric power

  stations in the La Paz Department, Bolivia; one in the South Yungas township and the

  other one in the Pucarani township. The projects in the Yura basin will be developed as

  part of a Joint Venture Agreement signed by EEVH with Corporación Minera de Bolivia

  (COMIBOL).

 

  The projects involved  are the following:

  Expansion of the Landara plant 1st and 2nd phases, at the Yura River basin, 1.05 MW.

 

  New turbine at the Punutuma Plant, at the Yura River basin, 0.40 MW.

 

  Condor Plant at the Yura River basin, 1.30 MW.

 

  Chuñavi Hydroelectric Power Station, at the Tuni River basin, 1.20 MW

 

  Anasani Hydroelectric Power Station, at the Anasani River basin, 3.40 MW.

 

  Project lifetime:

  21 years

 

  Accreditation period:

  21 years

 

  Estimated Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reductions:

  Annual:                                   16,691 tCO2e

  Up to and including 2012:      112,265 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 7 years:       95,574 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 10 years:     145,647 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 14 years:     212,412 tCO2e

  Up to a period of 21 years:     350,511 tCO2e

 

  Project Benefits:

  Installed capacity increase with application of clean technologies.

 

  No Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions due to the run of the river plant type concept (by

  avoidance of new dams).

 

  Erosion control and regulation of water flows for irrigation in the Yura River in Potosí and

  Tuni River in La Paz.

 

  Total Project cost estimate:

  Development costs: 0.6 US$ millions

  Installed costs: 9.0 US$ millions

  Total costs: 9.6 US$ millions

 

  Current Status:

  The project has a PIN and the Note of Interest.
