AES Chivor receives Speedy award
Congratulations to the AES Chivor team in Colombia, part of the Andes SBU, for receiving this quarter's Speedy award. By raising the height of a spill gateway with an investment of US $1.5M, AES Chivor was able to increase its generation capacity and potentially grow revenue an estimated US $2M to $6M per year. At AES Chivor, La Esmeralda reservoir has a capacity of 587 million cubic meter defined by the maximum peak of radial gate level at 1,277 meters above sea level. The operation of the reservoir maintains a water level that ensures a safe operation for the community downstream during rainy season and floods. During unusually high inflows, spillage is inevitable. Chivor must open the gates for flood control in these cases. Increasing the reservoir level by raising the height of the spill gates allows the storage of an additional 13 million cubic meters of water.
