Английская Википедия:Colíder Dam
Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox dam The Colíder Dam is a rock-fill dam with an asphalt-concrete core, built from 2011 to 2019 on the Teles Pires river. It is located about Шаблон:Convert southeast of Colíder in the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. The dam's hydroelectric power stations have 3 turbines each 102.3 MW, resulting in a total installed capacity of 306.9 MW. Construction on the run-of-the-river type station was initiated in May 2011, and the last unit started operating in December 2019.[1][2]
The dam is part of a planned six power plant "Hidrovia Tapajos/Teles Pires" project to create a navigable waterway connecting the interior of Brazil to the Atlantic Ocean. The waterway will consist of five dams on the Teles Pires river: Шаблон:Convert Magessi Dam, Шаблон:Convert Sinop Dam, Шаблон:Convert Colíder Dam, Шаблон:Convert Teles Pires Dam, Шаблон:Convert Sao Manoel Dam) and the Шаблон:Convert Foz do Apiacas Dam on the Apiacas river.
The Colíder Dam, Sinop Dam and Teles Pires Dam are built,[3] while the smaller upstream dams are still in the planning stages by 2019.[4]
Design
The Colíder Dam will be a combination embankment dam with concrete sections for the power stations and spillway. The length of the entire dam will be Шаблон:Convert. The dam will utilize 4.7 million cubic meters of earth and 260 thousand cubic meters of concrete, and will impound a reservoir with a surface area of 182.8 square kilometers. The power plant is being constructed by the Brazilian utility Companhia Paranaense de Energia (Copel).
Environmental Impacts
To reduce emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, 82 square kilometers of vegetation were cleared before the reservoir was filled.[5]
