Outline of the Project. The Central Valley Project (CVP) in California, USA, developed, constructed and managed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), is one of the Nation’s major water resources developments and one of the largest water storage and conveyance systems in the world. The CVP stores and distributes about 20 percent of California’s water (7 million acre-feet (8.6 million cubic meters), and generates more than 5 million MWh of electricity during years of normal rainfall. The Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior authorized the project and the President thereafter approved it on December 2, 1935. Congress re-authorized the Project in the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1937. The Shasta Division of the CVP was authorized by Public Law 386, 84th Congress, 1st Session, on August 12, 1955. The Sacramento River and Shasta Dam in Shasta/Trinity River Division, Shasta County, California are major components of the Central Valley Project. In addition to generating electricity, Shasta also serves to control floodwaters and store surplus winter runoff for irrigation in the Sacramento and San Xxxxxxx Valleys. It also maintains navigation flows, and provides flows for the conservation of fish in the Sacramento River. Shasta stores about Sixty-four (64) percent of the CVP water supply, with a capacity to store 4.5 million acre-feet (555,000 hectare-meters) and generates 42 percent of CVP hydroelectric production. Other components of the Central Valley Project are shown in table 2. Completed in 1945, Shasta Dam is a 602-feet (183 meters) tall curved concrete gravity structure having a gated overflow spillway with a crest elevation of 1037.0-feet (316 meters) above mean sea level (Figure 2). The Shasta Dam impounds water from the Pit, McCloud, and upper Sacramento Rivers to form Shasta Lake, the largest reservoir in California. The dam includes an extensive river outlet works structure with intakes at elevations 942.0-feet (287 meters), 842.0-feet (257 meters), and 742.0-feet (226 meters) respectively above sea level. The five power penstock intakes are located near the right abutment with a centerline elevation of 815.0-feet (248 meters), approximately 240-feet (73 meters) above the old river channel, but only 25-feet (7.6 meters) from the reservoir bottom in front of the intakes. Shasta Powerplant, located directly below the dam includes five turbine-generators with a combined rated capacity of 539 MW. Discharge capacity of the p...
Outline of the Project. All-inclusive construction of combined-cycle co-generation thermal power plant (fueled by natural gas-fire, 205MW supply capacity and 103Gcal/h heat supply) -Rehabilitation of existing facilities (a cooling tower, outdoor switchyard, water treatment facilities and heat supplying facilities) -Consulting services (detailed design, procurement assistance, construction supervision, and technology transfer/human resource development concerning operation and maintenance of facilities) Since combined cycle power generation is a technology that is being introduced to Armenia for the first time, training programs will be drafted and implemented through consulting services, as a part of efforts to improve the operation and maintenance capacity of the power plant.

Outline of the Project. The Project is aimed at developing and promoting human capacity building of technical personnel in developing countries, particularly in Asia and its adjacent regions by conducting training in nautical cartography. Further details of the Project are contained in the Annex to this MOU.
Outline of the Project. In this Project, Sempra Energy in the U.S. plans to construct LNG liquefaction facilities in Cameron, Louisiana, U.S. (overall capacity, 12 million tons per annum; 4 million tons x 3 trains) at the Cameron LNG Terminal - currently owned and operated by Cameron LNG, a subsidiary of Sempra Energy - to liquefy U.S. natural gas, including shale gas, and export as LNG. In accordance with the agreement, we will annually purchase approximately 300,000 tons of LNG from the Seller for 20 years from the start of production under this Project. We will continue diversifying LNG procurement to ensure stable city gas supply to customers at a competitive price. ＜Overview of the Sales Contract＞

Outline of the Project. This project is a part of the larger project co-financed by OECF and the World Bank which aims to rehabilitate four thermal power plants, four coal mines, five hydroelectric plants and transmission and distribution lines. The OECF Project covers the rehabilitation of Kakanj Thermal Power Plant and four coal mines, namely, Kakanj, Tuzla, Gacko and Ugljevik. The proceeds of the loan will be used for the procurement of necessary materials and services. Eexecuting agencies are the Elektroprivreda Bosne i Hercegovine, (Address: 00000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx 20, Tel: 000-000-000-000, Fax: 000-000-000-000), the Central Bosnia Coal Mines, (Address: Rudarska ulica, Kakanj, Tel: 000-000-000-000, Fax: 000-000-000-000), the Tuzla Coal Mines, (Address: 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx X0/0, Tel: 000-00-000-000, Fax: 000-00-000-000), the Elektroprivreda Republike Srpske, (Address: 00000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00, Tel: 000-00-00-000, Fax: 000-00-00-000, 000-00-00-000).

Outline of the Project. The goals of the Project were as follows: ○ increasing food production and the improvement of livelihood of farmers through irrigation to the existing paddy, newly reclaimed xxxxx xxxxxx and uplands in the area of 30,675 hectares in Gifu and Aichi Prefectures, ○ the improvement of people’s standard of living by supplying potable water to the population of about 280 thousands, ○ industrial development by supplying industrial water of about 21.8 million m3 per annum, and ○ increasing power generation through the construction of a new power plant in conjunction with Xxxxx Dam, through the utilization of the untapped water resources in the Kiso River System. Major construction works included a rock-fill type dam with 68 million m3 of effective storage capacity, regulating reservoirs, intake facilities with 30m3/sec of maximum intake volume, 112km of main canal, 1008km of lateral and tertiary canals, and 34,000kw of power generation. (The power generation project was consigned to an electric power company.)
Outline of the Project. In the mid 1970's Manitoba Hydro undertook the Xxxxxxxxx River Diversion Project (CRD) in northern Manitoba to significantly enhance its power generation capability on the Xxxxxx River (Figure 1). Approximately 80% (1000 m3) of the Xxxxxxxxx River flow was diverted into the Xxxxxx River, resulting in significantly reduced discharge at the mouth of the Xxxxxxxxx River near the community of Churchill. The habitat values of the broad (1.5 - 2.0 km wide) river channel for indigenous wildlife were significantly reduced and recreational use of the area declined due to extremely poor conditions for boat travel.
