Thesis on Hydro Power Plant 1. Distributors are required to supply any and all demand of electricity in their exclusive areas of concession, at prices (tariffs) and conditions set in regulation. The Argentine Government’s involvement in the electricity sector began in 1946 with the creation of the Dirección General de Centrales Eléctricas del Estado (General Directorate of Electric Power Plants of the State) to construct and operate electricity generation plants. These activities are completely regulated by the Government and require a concession. Large users participate in CAMMESA by appointing two acting and two alternate directors through the Asociación de Grandes Usuarios de EnergÃa Eléctrica de la República Argentina (âArgentine Association of Electric Power Large Usersâ or AGUEERA). The ENRE monitors the compliance of the distributors at the federal level, and provides a mechanism for public hearings in which complaints against distributors can be heard and resolved. As of November 2019, according to Res. 131/21, the reference price for GUDI increases to AR$5,500/MWh (except for public health and education bodies and entities). Just two hydroelectric plants provide 98% of Paraguay’s electricity generation: the Itaipú Dam, jointly owned with Brazil, and the Yacyretá Dam, owned in partnership with Argentina. The Itaipú Dam, located on the border of the two countries over the Paraná River, has produced over 2,400TWh since it began operating in 1984. The project entails building a large joint power plant and bulk fuel facility in Ambler to provide low-cost electricity to Ambler, Kobuk and Shungnak. 280/18 and No. 347/12 applied a differential fixed amount to each of the different tariff categories, except for customers exempt from paying the tariff scheme provided for by ENRE Resolution No. The Itaipu Dam is the world's second largest hydroelectric power station by installed capacity. Power generation is a term used to describe electricity production using different types of technology—some, such as steam boilers, are more than a hundred years old and others, such as wind turbines, are newer.
