Brief project description:
- The project is a run-of-river hydroelectric project, approximately 85 MW in the aggregate, along
the Taquesi and Unduavi Rivers in the Republic of Bolivia, South America. The proposed project involves
reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide through the displacement of electrical energy produced by
single-cycle combustion turbines in the reference case. The project will supply electrical energy to
the La Paz area from run-of-river hydropower facilities and thereby reduce emissions of carbon dioxide
from the alternate electrical energy source.

General Project Description and Technical Data
|
|
Hidroeléctrica Boliviana S.A. ("HB" the "Project Company") is proposing to
finance, construct, own, and operate two new run-of-river hydroelectric projects, approximately 85
MW in the aggregate, along the Taquesi and Unduavi Rivers in the Republic of Bolivia, South
America. The project expects to displace more than 10 million metric tons of greenhouse emission
credits over plant life. These projects are near the small communities of La Chojlla and Yanacachi,
located approximately 40 kilometers east from La Paz, in South Yungas area of Bolivia. The project
is being developed as a result of deregulation of the Bolivian market. Private electric
developments are now permitted, with payment based on either spot market prices for firm capacity
and energy or negotiated power purchase agreements. The second and main phase of the project will
commence operation in February 2002.
The project’s net electrical output will be sold under the terms of Bolivia’s
Electricity Law, which regulates electric power production on the basis of economic dispatch and
lowest marginal cost of production. The Bolivian model resembles closely the models found in
Argentina, United Kingdom, Chile, and Peru. Under the Electricity Law, the Project will receive a
fixed capacity payment and energy payments for all delivered energy. A 115-kV transmission line
will connect the Project with the Pichu Substation located near Yanacachi. From the Pichu
substation, the power will be transmitted on an existing 115-kV transmission line to the Kenko
substation near the northern portion of La Paz, Bolivia’s major load center.

Additional comments (if any):
|
|
|
Compatibility with Economic Development and Socioeconomic and Environmental Priorities
|
|
This project will positively impact economic development of the region. This project will produce
significantly cheaper electricity for Bolivia by utilizing existing site, substation and
transmission facilities, reducing project costs per MW and minimizing construction impact. Both
temporary and permanent jobs will be created during the construction and operation of the plant.
Technology Transfer – Capacity. This project will add momentum to developing clean
independent power in Bolivia.
|
-
D. Environmental, social/cultural, and economic impacts of the AIJ project
|
Non-Greenhouse-Gas Environmental Impacts of the Project
|
-
1. The project requires no flooding, contemplates no resident re location, and is situated in
an area historically used for mining and hydroelectric power generation.
2. Due to the small footprint of the project facilities, impact to soil and forest resources
will be insignificant. Hidroeléctrica Boliviana, S.A. is planning to maintain the forests
adjacent to the generation plants to sustain hydrologic conditions, reduce soil erosion, and
preserve biodiversity.
3. Due to the nature of the project, human health will not be impacted. Project medical
facilities will contribute to local medical infrastructure.
4. The plant will not threaten Biodiversity.
5. Access to the site is available by public and private roads. Most equipment, construction
materials and construction equipment will be heavy hauled or trucked to the site. Major
equipment will be delivered by ocean freight to Arica, Chile, or rail to the nearest available
siding and heavy hauled or trucked to the site.
|
|
Social/Cultural Impacts of the Project
|
|
Hidroeléctrica Boliviana has established a Foundation (Fundacion Taquesi) with the following
objectives:
- 1. The conservation of cultural, historical, and archaeological resources found near the
project site.
2. Assistance in efforts to conserve environmental quality within the areas of influence of the
project and adjacent areas.
3. Improve living conditions of the communities situated adjacent to the project site.
There will be a strong participation from experts in all the areas of work that the foundation will
focus. Such areas are health, education, environment, economic, and archeological.
|
|
Economic Impacts of the Project
|
|
The project will provide power at reduced cost to the Bolivian national grid, thus allowing the
growth of all other economic sectors.

Description:
There are no greenhouse gas sources at the project site included in the emissions
baseline/reference case. Sources affected by the project include single-cycle combustion turbines
located in the Santa Cruz region of Bolivia, that would produce fossil fuel-based electricity to
inject through the Bolivian Interconnected Grid if the Taquesi project do not became operative.
Those combustion turbines are sources of carbon dioxide in the baseline case.

Description of Calculation Methodology for the Reference Scenario
|
|
General Electric’s Cycle Deck Analysis program was used to calculate the exhaust analysis
from an appropriately sized single-cycle gas turbine—the GE Frame 6 machine. The proposed
site elevation near Santa Cruz, Bolivia, is 1,365 feet above sea level and the weather data
collected at the Santa Cruz Airport indicates an average yearly temperature of 77 degrees F. These
values were used as the specific input for calculation of outputs and exhaust flow analyses.
Approximately 98 MWs of generation is required in Santa Cruz to displace approximately 84 MWs at
Yungas.
Weather data sources: National Hydrology and Meteorology Service (SENAMHI) and Meteorology Unit of
Viru Viru International Airport.
