Kane, Edward J. | Unal, Haluk | Demirguc-Kunt, Asli
Construction of the Chivor Hydroelectric Project will be the most suitable and economical means to meet the rapidly growing demand for energy. The project will be located about 120 km northeast of Bogota. It will have an ultimate capacity of about 1,000 MW. The proposed loan will help finance the first stage, of 500 MW which is to be started in 1970 and come into commercial operation in mid-1975. The annual generation of the plant in an average hydraulic year will be 3,477 GWh. The project will include a dam on the Bata River, a pressure tunnel and penstock, a powerhouse on the Lengupa River, and a 230 KV transmission line, 180 km long, to link the Chivor plant with the interconnection network.
