Dominican Republic state hydroelectric power generator Egehid has begun a project to overhaul the Jiguey hydro plant in San Cristobal province, according to the Presidency.
The US$19.5 million nine-month revamp contract has been granted to the Brazilian construction company Noberto Odebrecht, which also has the contract for the multi- million Duarte Corridor project in Santo Domingo and others.
The hydroelectric power plant was affected by tropical storms Noel and Olga in November 2007.
As reported, the German consulting firm PDI designed the project and will help supervise the work, which will recover 25 percent of production.
The government reports that a credit line from Banco de Reservas will finance the work on the 48MW unit.
