Summary

Mandating Authority :

Expected project CAPEX :

Project Type :

The main impact of the project relates mainly to increased energy efficiency of the water supply systems managed by ARM, pro-moting the production and use of energy from renewable endogenous sources and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, thus meeting with the 20-20-20 EU targets and the targets set for Portugal for 2020. In addition, the project contributes to the mitigation of climate changes. At a social level, this project will contribute to great-er economic sustainability of public water supply services, in particular by reducing energy costs, thus providing an economic and financial balance of the sector, materi-alized in socially balanced tariffs.

Mini-Hídricas

The project regards the installation of six (6) hydroelectric stations (mini-hydro) and the expansion of the Terça Mini-hydro to produce electricity by taking advantage of the ex-isting high geometric unevenness in certain facilities of the drinking water supply system managed by ARM, including Terça (≈700 kW), Livramento - Caniço Water Tank (≈220 kW), Rabaças (≈195 kW), Santa Luzia (≈65 kW), Areeiro (≈150 kW), Lourencinha Water Tank (≈30 kW) and Lourencinha (≈110 kW). The project will reduce the dependence on foreign energy through increased hydroelectric production and increased energy efficiency of the facilities to be built, ensuring the connection of production facilities to the network.

The main stakeholders in the project corre-spond to the capital providers (shareholders) of ARM and the Regional Government of Madeira, to the extent that they are directly related to the implementation and develop-ment of the project. Additionally, the clients, the community at large, as well as the com-pany’s workers, who are also very relevant stakeholders, in particular to promote and/or to improve the project.

NO

The technologies associated with the facilities to be built (mini-hydro) are not yet decided. However, given the range of powers, one can point to the Pelton turbines.

NO

With the exception of the Lourencinha Mini-hydro, whose infra-structure is on private land to undergo negotiation, all the facilities are, predictably, on land owned by ARM.

NO

NO. not necessary.

Undetermined.
