Officials in Honduras are negotiating a $70 million loan with the World Bank for a fifth turbine in the hydroelectric station El Cajon.
The process for installing the 75 MW turbine was going to be developed through a concession, but the plans have been changed and now the government has announced that it will be tendered, after negotiating funds with the World Bank, for the installation of the turbine in the plant.
The National Electric Power Company has announced that the repair of the crack in hydroelectric station El Cajon, awarded to the Italian company Astaldi, will now start in March.
After several delays in the project to repair the dam, the National Electricity Company (ENEE) now announced that the works will start in March so as not to affect reservoir levels, taking advantage of the summer.
After the 15% advance payment to the Italian company the repairs to the dam in Honduras will begin in December and will take two years.
After countless delays, repair of the hydroelectric finally will finally have free reign, after the award in May and the signing of the contract in August to repair cracks and the slope in the tunnels.
The same companies that had participated in two failed international tenders have submitted two bids for the repair of the El Cajon dam.
The Consortium MOS, made up of the Swiss company Rodio Swissborring and the Venezuelan Trevi Cimentaciones, the Italian Astaldi S.P.A., China's Sinohydro Corporation Limited and the Mexican Tecnosuelo S.A. de C.V. , submitted bids in the private tender conducted by Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE) for repairing cracks in the El Cajon hydroelectric station.
The works to be completed include repair of leaks in the "El Cajon" dam that occurred after the earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale on 28th May 2009.
Preliminary analysis is underway for the installation of a fifth turbine at El Cajón Hydroelectric Power Station.
"Installation of the turbine could cost $60 million, but only after the study we will know how long it could take...", said Manuel Palma, director of the power plant.
