The following is a machine translation of an Ende release

The National Electricity Company (ENDE) Corporation is assembling Francis-type turbines at the Juntas Hydroelectric Power Plant, marking significant progress in the construction of the Ivirizu Hydroelectric Project, located in the department of Cochabamba.

The turbine is the main element of a hydroelectric power plant. Water, which has kinetic and potential energy, is allowed to fall on the turbine, which turns a shaft or impeller connected to a generator, thus generating electricity. The installation of the different components of the Ivirizu Project is carried out by a team of engineers specialized in hydraulic generation, who, using heavy machinery, successfully carry out the installation of each of the parts.

The Ivirizu Hydroelectric Project is executed by the company ENDE Valle Hermoso, with a generation capacity of 290 megawatts of power that will be injected into the National Interconnected System (SIN). It promotes the change towards a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix, and also stands out as one of the most modern and important infrastructures for the generation of renewable energy in Bolivia.

ENDE Corporación will continue working to consolidate the completion of this project, which consists of two hydroelectric plants, Juntas and Sehuencas; at the same time, work is being done on the execution of wind and solar projects that will allow for the expansion of the renewable energy generation capacity in the national territory.
