Lot 1: Larimaat Site

·        Construction of approximately 6,290W hydroelectric generation system with 5 identical units of 1.75Kw Pelton turbines (1,258W per turbine) installed in the Powerhouse. The turbines are required to have a total flow rate of 16.2 l/s with a total combined output of 23,907 W (1,258W per turbine). The length of the penstock connecting the intake to the powerhouse is approximately 380m.

·        Construction of approximately 4km of single-phase low-voltage underground distribution network to connect the estimated 112 users currently living in the targeted communities and is required to be installed at 600V and 230V.
