Construction of a solar power plant announced in the Bolivian department

La Paz, July 27 (Prensa Latina) The national electricity company (Ende) began construction of Oruro's solar photovoltaic plant, with which this department now joins the regions of production of electric power in Bolivia.

The factory, located in the Ancotanga community of the municipality of Caracollo, 45 kilometers from the city of Oruro, will be integrated into the National Interconnected System, the local media will stand out.

One of the features of the work will be the installation of 150,000 solar panels to take advantage of optimal solar radiation conditions in the Bolivian highlands, one of the highest in the world.

Ende, the project aims to contribute to the transformation of the energy matrix in Bolivia and generate electricity called clean by the use of renewable resources.

One of the advantages of the solar power plant is that it will shift the consumption of natural gas – currently used in thermoelectric power plants – by a source of energy, such as solar radiation, which reduces energy consumption. 39, emission of gaseous pollutants in the environment

"The surplus of electric power generation for export will be increased," said the state-owned enterprise.

The project will be built by the Spanish company TSK Electrónica y Electricidad SA, under the supervision of Ende Guaracachi and supervision of the Tractebel-Lahmeyer consortium

The investment is 39.5 million dollars with resources from the French Development Agency, the European Union and the Central Bank of Bolivia.
