The objective of the project is to prepare the detailed design of the Rositas hydroelectric power plant and prepare all the necessary documentation for its bidding and construction. In addition, it includes the review and update of the pre-feasibility study of the complete hydroelectric development of the Rio Grande (6 plants), as well as the technical, economic and environmental evaluation of a second hydroelectric plant: the Cañahuecal Project.
