(Energy Analytics Institute, Ian Silverman, 3.Oct.2018) — Bolivia’s National Electricity Company (ENDE) has temporarily suspended the Rositas hydroelectric project.
Delegates from affected communities and two elected authorities from Vallegrande said there have been failures related to the project since the beginning, reported Bolivia’s daily newspaper La Razón.
Work related to the project — which consists of construction of a dam, a power plant with an installed capacity of 600 megawatts with average annual energy generation on the order of 3,000 gigawatts — was paralyzed during the environmental impact process, according to the daily.
