El Diario: UMSA declares the Chepete-Bala project unfeasible

El Diario interpreted a report from the Universidad Mayor de San Andres on the planned Chepete and El Bala megadams. According to El Diario: “The document indicates that the construction of the hydroelectric plant will have a serious impact on the populations of the area, such as Rurrenabaque and San Buenaventura. According to ENDE, the Bala project would guarantee energy sovereignty for our country. Meanwhile, Waldo Albarracín says the consultancy study was never made public.” You can read the Spanish language article here.
