Reservoir Capital Corp.
("Reservoir" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has filed
applications with the Government of the Republika Srpska (an
autonomous region of Bosnia and Herzegovina) to build three
run-of-river hydroelectric projects ("HPP") on the Cehotina River,
with a combined capacity of 17.75 megawatts ("MW") and an estimated
output of 88 gigawatt hours per annum ("GWh/yr").Miljana Vidovic, President and CEO of Reservoir commented: "We're very pleased to be starting our first projects in Bosnia and increasing our development pipeline to a notable 108 MW. We're also very happy with the capacity factor averaging 56% that we've been able to project for the Cehotina dams."
The Cehotina River flows from Montenegro down into the Drina River at
the town of Foca, home of Reservoir's Bosnian office. The Company has
applied for a 30- year concession covering the 26 kilometre section
of the river within the Republika Srpska, which has an elevation drop
of 114 metres and median flow rates ranging from 20 cubic metres per
second ("m3/s") at the Montenegrin border to 23 m3/s where it joins
the Drina.The total natural energy capacity for this section of the river is 24 MW (211 GWh/yr) from which the Company's consultant ENCOS Energy Consulting Services D.o.o. of Sarajevo has designed three dams; Luke, Falovici and Godijeno, with projected parameters tabulated below:
