Chinese Firm to Conduct Feasibility Study of Bolivian Hydropower Plant<br />
LA PAZ (Fox News Latino) — Bolivia signed a memorandum of understanding with Hydrochina<br />
Corporation that calls for the Chinese state-owned firm to conduct a free feasibility study for the<br />
construction of a hydroelectric power plant in the eastern province of Santa Cruz, the Andean nation's<br />
richest region, the Hydrocarbons and Energy Ministry said. The memorandum was signed Friday<br />
night by Hydrocarbons and Energy Minister Juan Jose Sosa and Hydrochina Corporation<br />
representatives in the presence of Chinese Ambassador to Bolivia Li Dong, the ministry said in a<br />
statement. The document calls for Hydrochina to provide the feasibility study to the Bolivian<br />
government on the Rositas hydroelectric power project in Santa Cruz within 90 days "at no<br />
charge." If Bolivia accepts the study, Hydrochina would design and build the power plant, which the<br />
Bolivian government says would have an installed generating capacity of 400 MW. Failure to submit<br />
the feasibility study within the timeframe established in the memorandum would void the agreement,<br />
the ministry said.<br />
