Testing of Gariuai Power Station started
The power house in Gariuai has been cabled! All instruments as well as the 20 kV transmission lines have been connected, and the commissioning of the station has been performed by technicians Dietmar Fischer and Bernhard Wernet from the equipment supplier, Wasserkraft Volk in Germany.
The completion of the cabling means that the testing of the penstock (pipes from intake to station), power station and power lines connecting the station to the grid may start. This testing, which involves operation of the station, will go on until November, when the station is expected to be handed over to the EDTL and in normal operations.
