The project is located in Totora, Cochabamba, and is the largest hydropower station with the largest installed capacity in Bolivia to date. POWERCHINA is responsible for the construction of the roller-compacted concrete gravity dam in Section I, as well as the diversion tunnel project, access roads, primary and secondary water intake hubs, and supporting metal structure works, operating camps in Section II.
The project holds a pivotal role in Bolivia's energy landscape. Its successful construction marks a significant step in the country's energy transition strategy and has a profound influence on the widespread adoption of renewable energy.
The smooth construction of this project demonstrates POWERCHINA's technical expertise and fulfillment capability in international water conservancy and hydropower. It also injects new impetus into deepening energy cooperation between China and Bolivia and promotes green development.
In the future, the project aims to deliver clean energy benefits, support local economic and social development, and promote Bolivia's energy independence and sustainable development.
