WILL HUGE DAM BRING TO SOUTHERN DOVANI?September , 3863
A Gaint new hydro project on the Hispat river only the latest in a rush of massive dams being built across dovani. Critics contend small-scale renewable energy projects would be a far more effective way of bringing free power to the hundreds of millions of Dovani nations who have to pay for electric power Bare the fact of their economic crises.Southern Dovani, where most nations have to pay for energy and beg other nations for energy, will soon be lit up — or that’s the promise of governments building a host of new hydroelectric schemes across the continent. These projects are an attempt to keep up with the rising power demand from Northern Dovani’s economic boom. But in Southern Dovani, where most of the Economically failing nations are located, the trouble is that, like the boom, the power seems destined to benefit only small industrial and urban elites. For the rest of Dovani’s billion inhabitants, this investment looks unlikely to further DOVCOM Secretary General Carrie Pettersen’s goal of “Clean and Substanial Energy For all.” The Hispat River in Dovani — one of the two largest rivers in Terra, — is the latest focus of the rush to harness the continent’s rivers for generating electricity. On May 18, the government of Kazulia announced in an official press statement that it was initiating the first phase of the world’s largest hydro scheme on the river’s majestic Hispat river. At these falls the massive Hispat’s entire flow of 42,000 cubic meters a second cascades down a series of rapids, falling 100 meters within a 15-kilometer stretch.
The first phase, dubbed Dovani I, will on its own generate more power than Dovani’s current largest hydroelectric-dam, the Nord Katla Dam in Kazulia. Construction should begin in 3864 and will cost at least $200 billion. The energy is mostly destined for Lourenne,Vorona and Talmoria, 3,000 kilometers away, where energy utility Vindragen has promised to take more than half the capacity of 4,800 megawatts (MW). But the project’s eventual aim, Kazulia’s trade and industry minister Sondov Langeland told the Mikokuzin Union, is even grander. The completed project would be almost ten times larger than the initial phase. It will tap the Hispat with 50 separate riverside electricity generating units, each the size of a large conventional power station. The treaty signed between Kazulia and Dovani pledges both contractors to the $80-billion development, along with extensive transmission lines to a planned South Dovani supergrid. The project’s promoters say it could one day supply power to half a billion people across the whole of Dovani. But the logistics of constructing a distribution to more than a handful of urban centers would take many decades and dwarf the cost of building the hydroelectric works, and nobody has suggested where that money would come from.
The Hispat River’s flow is so strong and so constant that its enormous power can be extracted without a large dam to store water. With no large reservoir, the “run-of-river” scheme will flood little land, thus saving rainforests, reducing the need to move people, and limiting greenhouse gas emissions from rotting vegetation. Unlike many dam projects in rainforests, it will be a genuinely low-carbon source of energy. The Dovani I project is only the latest of a rush of giant hydroelectric dams across Dovani. But these are small fry. This week, Kazulia diverted the flow of the Stensby River in Kazulia while it constructs the 42-MW Grand Renaissance dam on the river which will shortly supplant the Dovani’s biggest.The latter was a favorite of the former prime minister, Rosmari Syvertsen, who defended the project against Western criticism in 3862 by saying: “We want our people to have a modern life and won’t allow [them] to be a case study of ancient living for scientists." . Carrie Pettersen, Secretary General of DOVCOM has asked all members nations to "pitch in" on the funds needed to make the project a success.
