Rincon del Bonete Hydroelectric Plant and Transmission System
In December, 1945, sorely needed Hydroelectricity started flowing from here into the country.
World War II had interrupted the work of the German consortium led by Siemens. But a motivated team of Uruguayan engineers reformulated and completed the project using American-supplied equipment.
The large artificial lake spurred further Rio Negro electrification; availability of abundant, clean hydroelectricity was a turning point in Uruguay's development and quality of life.
Please also include references and full citations, and include supporting material in an electronic format (GIF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, DOC) which can be made available on the IEEE History Center’s Web site to historians, scholars, students, and interested members of the public. All supporting materials must be in English, or if not in English, accompanied by an English translation. If you are including images or photographs as part of the supporting material, it is necessary that you list the copyright owner.
In the space below the line, please describe the historic significance of this work: its importance to the evolution of electrical and computer engineering and science and its importance to regional/national/international development.
What features or characteristics set this work apart from similar achievements?
Please attach a letter in English, or with English translation, from the site owner giving permission to place IEEE milestone plaque on the property.
