BO-L1043 : Misicuni Renewable Energy Hydroelectric Project
| Project Description: The Misicuni Multipurpose Project is located in the Department of Cochabamba, and it's objective is to supply the central Cochabamba Valley with potable water, irrigation water and electric power generation for the National Interconnected System (NIS). Due to the dry weather conditions, the Cochabamba Valley has historically faced a water supply problem aggravated by the population growth in the region. On the other hand, the country needs to increase it¿s generation capacity preferably from renewable sources. The whole project comprises the construction of a 120-m high rock filled and concrete face dam, a 20km tunnel for water diversion (finalized in 2005 with the financial support form the Government of Italy), a pressurized piping system (from 3.700 to 2.700 meters above sea level) that conveys a controlled water flow from the tunnel to the power plant to be built in the Cochabamba Valley. The dam construction contract (US$85 million) has been awarded and the financing is in place. The works for the hydroelectric power plant, including complementary investments such as a substation and a transmission line, estimated in about US$110 million, will be financed with a loan from the IDB. This part of the program is important because it will provide energy to the NIS and will contribute to the financial and economical viability of the whole project. |
