Description
Description | The Furnas Hydroelectric Project will provide a loan of $73 million in foreign currency to the Central Eletrica de Furnas S.A. to finance the construction of the first stage of an 1,100 megawatt (MW) hydroelectric project at Furnas on the Rio Grande. The Furnas project will be constructed in two stages. The plant for the first stage will consist of five 92 MW or four 110 MW vertical generating units, the size depending on the weights to be transported over the railroads. The second stage is expected to follow quickly on the first. The Furnas project will comprise a large earth and rock fill dam, a concrete spillway, and an open air type powerhouse. It is projected that the project is technically and economically sound and is required to meet the rapidly growing demand for electricity in central-southern Brazil. The Furnas Company is under capable management and the arrangements made for engineering the project are satisfactory. Existing regulations governing rates should assure adequate revenues to maintain the Furnas Company in a sound financial position. |
