Project Narrative

Shared and sustainable water management: The Chilean Ministry of Public Works and Enel Generaci—n Chile have signed an agreement, which was subsequently ratified also with the local associations that manage the irrigation channels in the area of Saltos del Laja, in the B’o B’o region. The objective of the agreement is to improve the flexibility of use of the water, ensuring the supply to families and the power generation. The initiative is the result of a joint effort with the associations Canalistas del Laja and Canalistas del Canal Za–artu, Direcci—n de Obras Hidr‡ulicas, Direcci—n General de Aguas, Enel Generaci—n Chile, Ministerio de Agricultura, Ministerio de Energ’a and Comisi—n Nacional de Riego. There is also an agreement with the municipality of Antuco in order to start a pilot project to promote tourism in the area of Salto del Trubunleo during summer. In order to manage possible contingent or emergency situations in a quick and coordinated manner, a specific communication system was defined between the power plants of Pangue and Ralco of Enel Generaci—n Chile, the Angostura di Colbœn power station, the municipalities of Alto B’o B’o, Quilaco and Santa B‡rbara, the Ministry of the Interior and Public Security (ONEMI) and the Ministry of Energy.
