Nicaragua programs / NRECA
Project to assist Instituto Nicaraguense de Energia (INE), Nicaragua's national power utility, to upgrade the isolated electrical systems in the Atlantic Coast port towns of Bluefields and Puerto Cabezas so that they will be able to meet demand over the next 3 years. The project, which will be implemented by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA), will: (1) rehabilitate and upgrade the two systems; (2) provide TA and training; (3) promote productive uses of electricity; and (4) promote system sustainability through policy dialogue and ongoing system upgrading. Electric power generation capacity will be increased by 25% in Bluefields and Puerto Cabezas. In Bluefields, two 1,200 kW generators will be procured to increase generating capacity to 6,160 kW, and both primary and secondary lines will be rehabilitated. In Puerto Cabezas, spare parts and materials will be procured to improve system reliability and upgrade primary voltage from 2.4 kV delta to 13.2 kV wye. Overall, this component will: install 50 km of new line and rehabilitate 100 km of existing line, add 2,000 legal connections, and install 3,000 new meters (an 80% increase). TA and training will be
