evamping of the substation of Chicumbane (110 KV).<br />
• The Unit, in the scope of its strategy for setting itself as one of<br />
the main players currently <strong>de</strong>veloping activities in the Angolan<br />
market, was selected for the supply of one of the most signifi cant<br />
projects and of great technical dimension and complexity that<br />
took place in <strong>2010</strong>: the supply of 100 kVA substations aimed at<br />
providing street lighting to the rehabilitated Via Expressa Luanda<br />
– Viana. This road is consi<strong>de</strong>red to be a strategic route that<br />
connects the city of Luanda to other parts of the country.<br />
• Important or<strong>de</strong>rs were received for construction and/or<br />
revamping contracts of SONELGAZ’s substations.<br />
• The Single Power Transmission Plant (diesel-powered<br />
thermoelectric power plants, which integrate more than one<br />
substation) of Santiago, in Cape Ver<strong>de</strong>, which will be the fi rst of 4<br />
expected plants to be put into operation, has already begun. This<br />
project will be carried out by reinforcing the production capacity<br />
and construction of the Substation of Palmarejo, at the charge<br />
of <strong>Efacec</strong>, after signing a contract with ELECTRA, the company<br />
responsible for the production and distribution of electricity in<br />
Cape Ver<strong>de</strong>, as well as the distribution of drinking water and the<br />
collection, treatment and reuse of wastewaters in certain parts<br />
of the country. The contract concerns Lot 1 from the international<br />
ten<strong>de</strong>r “Santiago Island – Power Generation, Transmission and<br />
Distribution Capacity Development Project”. These Power Plants<br />
are the answer to a better energy conservation and rational use<br />
of resources, signifi cantly reducing Cape Ver<strong>de</strong>’s <strong>de</strong>pen<strong>de</strong>nce on<br />
petroleum-based fuels.<br />
• The Unit <strong>de</strong>livered the 220 kV substation of Coronel Oviedo and<br />
the 220 kV substation of Km 30 in Paraguay. These two substations<br />
are the essential equipment for ANDE (the power distributor in<br />
Paraguay) to reinforce the power distribution to the capital city<br />
of Assuncíon from the dam of Itaipú. Besi<strong>de</strong>s this reference,<br />
<strong>Efacec</strong> continued its expansion in Paraguay with other or<strong>de</strong>rs, in<br />
particular the SCADA system in the scope of activities <strong>de</strong>veloped<br />
by the Automation BU and a set of switchgear units produced by<br />
<strong>Efacec</strong> Argentina.<br />

• Regarding its activities in hydropower, <strong>Efacec</strong> obtained the<br />
adjudication of the ETA (water treatment station) in Cancelas for<br />
Águas do Mon<strong>de</strong>go, the ETAR (wastewater treatment station) in<br />
Vila Nova <strong>de</strong> Milfontes for Águas Públicas do Alentejo and several<br />
ETARs for Águas do Zêzere e Côa. The contract for the exploitation<br />
of the ETAR in Matosinhos was also renewed. It should also be<br />
highlighted the inauguration of the new small hydro power plant<br />
in Roxo, Aljustrel, which inclu<strong>de</strong>d the presence of the Portuguese<br />
Prime Minister José Sócrates, thus completing one of the most<br />
important stages of the multi-purpose project for Alqueva’s<br />
dam. Comprising a turn-key project, the installed power of the<br />
turbine/alternator set is 1850 kVA. This project is an addition to<br />
the or<strong>de</strong>rs received from EDIA for the construction of three other<br />
small hydro power plant (Alvito, Odivelas and Serpa), also turnkey<br />
contracts, reaching a total installed power of 10 225 kVA.<br />
• As for Waste Treatment, <strong>Efacec</strong> obtained several adjudications<br />
concerning the usage of landfi ll gas. In particular, the or<strong>de</strong>r from<br />
several cogeneration groups of Resistrela, Amarsul, Algar, ERSUC,<br />
for an installed power over 15 MW. Operating tests also began<br />
for the Organic Recovery Plants of Valorlis and Suldouro. Equally<br />
important were the composting projects of Fundão/Resistrela,<br />
as well as the mechanical treatment of Amarsul. Still in this<br />
scope, the supply of the Organic Recovery Plant of Suldouro to<br />
EGF - Empresa Geral <strong>de</strong> Fomento, which belongs to the Águas <strong>de</strong><br />
Portugal Group.<br />
• Also for EGF, <strong>Efacec</strong> won a contract for the <strong>de</strong>sign, construction,<br />
supply and assembly of three biogas energy usage systems<br />
produced in the landfi lls of RESULIMA, ERSUC and ALGAR. These<br />
systems produce electricity directly sold to the Portuguese power<br />
grid as a result of the burning of biogas in internal combustion<br />
engines. The total installed power is 4.8 MW.<br />
• The Unit was invited by the Portuguese Minister of the<br />
Environment to be part of the Setting-up Committee of the<br />
Parceria Portuguesa para a Água (Portuguese Water Partnership),<br />
