The project consists of a three-year time slice of EDP's overall investment program. The object of the program is to meet, at least cost, EDP's forecast growth in demand while maintaining the required reliability of the system. The 1983-85 investment program includes: (i) construction of hydroplants which will eventually add 1460 MW to the system; (ii) completion of the second phase of an oil-fire

Description

The project consists of a three-year time slice of EDP's overall investment program. The object of the program is to meet, at least cost, EDP's forecast growth in demand while maintaining the required reliability of the system. The 1983-85 investment program includes: (i) construction of hydroplants which will eventually add 1460 MW to the system; (ii) completion of the second phase of an oil-fired thermal plant (2 x 250 MW), installation of two combustion turbines (2 x 83 MW) at an existing plant, and work on the first phase of a coal-fired thermal plant (2 x 300 MW); (iii) construction of about 564 km of transmission lines and about 12,500 km of medium- and low-voltage distribution lines, with associated transformer capacity of about 4,700 MVA; (iv) expansion of testing and measurement facilities; (v) computer hardware and software, and a study for upgrading the accounting system; and (vi) study for the identification of possible nuclear plant sites.
