The project would consist of a program designed to rehabilitate and expand IRHE's subtransmission and distribution systems in the 1980-83 period. It represents the least-cost alternative to supplying new customers and rehabilitating obsolete distribution and subtransmission facilities. The project would include 38 specific subprojects which would be executed during 1980-83 and the routine distribution expansion required to connect new consumers in 1981-82. In addition, the project would include technical services to strengthen IRHE's planning and design of distribution and subtransmission works. Specifically, the project would consist of: (a) rehabilitation and construction of about 535 circuit km of lines; (b) installation of about 135 MVA of transformers in existing substations and in new substations to be constructed; (c) installation of accessory subtransmission equipment; (d) construction of about 100 circuit km of lines and 260 km of distribution networks; (e) installation of about 3,300 distribution transformers with a total capacity of about 100 MVA; (f) installation of accessory distribution equipment; and (g) consulting services.
