Additional information

[edit]
  • Bulo Bulo, Cochabamba, 2 X 45 MW LM6000 gas turbines, natural gas

Bulo Bulo was built by a joint venture of NRG Energy, Vattenfall, and Pan American Energy LLC. It went commercial on 30 June 2000 with a 30-year generation license. In May 2003, Petrolera Chaco purchased the plant.

  • Entre Rios, Cochabamba, 4 X 30 MW SGT-700 gas turbines, natural gas

This project is a 60:40 joint venture of Ende and PDVSA and was the result of an August 2007 agreement between Presidents Evo Morales and Hugo Chávez. It cost about $80mn and connects to the 230kV grid. Commercial operation began on 22 July 2010.

  • Guaracachi, Santa Cruz, 210-MW, 2+1 CCGT plant with 6001FA gas turbines, natural gas

In Oct 2010, two 6FA gas turbines at Guaracachi in Santa Cruz were converted to combined-cycle operation. In addition to the HRSGs and steam set, the installation included a new five-cell mechanical draft tower and a demineralized water treatment plant. The plant was 50% owned by Rurelec PLC when nationalized by Bolivian President Evo Morales in February 2010.
