Once in operation, the project is expected to displace an estimated 0.6 Mmt of CO2e up to the end of 2012 and an estimated 4.56 Mmt CO2e up to 2019. It will also support an environmental program for the protection of the Paramo de Las Hermosas a unique, high-mountain biotope, upstream from the generation facility, and a social program that will contribute to improvements in the welfare of the local community in the area of the project.

Over 73% of construction work has been completed and the turbines have Page 1 of 10 The World Bank Report No: ISR1916 been manufactured. The underground power casing has also been completed. The development of the social and environmental programs has been progressing well:In total about 1000 jobs have been generated during construction, about 50% of which have been filled by local residents. Close to 70% of all environmental activities originally envisaged have Public Disclosure Copy been completed. The project has provided 64 sanitation facilities for families (more than twice the original estimate) and 41 local water supply systems. 82 septic tanks have also been delivered. These investments, are designed to reduce the overall BOD load into the river . The water supply system for the Chaparral town has been fully refurbished. Also, the physical infrastructure of 23 rural schools has been upgraded. More importantly, programs and equipment at the schools have been upgraded or delivered as of the end of 2009, 30 local children have received full scholarships to pursue studies at universities throughout the country.
