Project Overview

Conversion and modernization of Chilca UNO power plant to a combined cycle operation, for the eco efficient use of water and greater power generation. The project is including a desalinization plant to source water, reducing the exploitation of wells and avoiding use the scarce underground water. In addition, Chilca UNO is implementing a program to promote efficient water use by using aerocondensors instead of water for the cooling process. This will reduce the amount of wat…

Conversion and modernization of Chilca UNO power plant to a combined cycle operation, for the eco efficient use of water and greater power generation. The project is including a desalinization plant to source water, reducing the exploitation of wells and avoiding use the scarce underground water. In addition, Chilca UNO is implementing a program to promote efficient water use by using aerocondensors instead of water for the cooling process. This will reduce the amount of water required from 80,000 m3/day to 1,500 m3/day. The company has been awarded by the Sociedad Nacional de M’neria Petr—leo y Energ’a on Sustainable Development for this project.

Project Narrative

Apply surface flows to farm fields during winter to replenish groundwater aquifers with the aim of achieving annual volumetric benefits of up to 800 acre-feet per year for ten years. Establish a monitoring network to quantify groundwater recharge, enhance groundwater dependent ecosystems, and support flows to the Sacramento River.
