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.
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.
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.
The Mackay Gas Turbine was a remote-controlled power generator that was owned and operated by Stanwell Corporation Ltd. for short periods when customer demand for electricity was high. The gas turbine's ability to start quickly played a role in ensuring a secure, reliable power supply for distribution to consumers.
The Misicuni Multiplepurpose Project, better known as the Misicuni Dam, is a concrete-face rock-fill dam constructed on the Misicuni River about 35 km (22 mi) northwest of the city of Cochabamba, Bolivia. The dam will divert water from the Misicuni River to the Cochabamba Valley for several purposes to include providing water for irrigation and municipal water uses. In addition, the dam has an associated 120 MW hydroelectric power station, powered by 3 turbines 40 MW each. Construction on the dam began in June 2009 but was halted in November 2013 due to contract disputes. The company finished the construction and is started the operations in September 2017.
