Evaluación costo-beneficio de la hidroeléctrica Coca Codo Sinclair.

Abstract

The Coca Codo Sinclair project was cataloged as one of the largest projects nationwide, which serves as a hydroelectric power plant that seeks to transform hydroelectric to electrical energy. The general objective of the work was to evaluate the cost-benefit of the construction of the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant. The methodology used was based on a quantitative approach, not experimental, of descriptive scope, deductive method, the observation technique was used. Among the results obtained, it was observed that there was a difference between the initial project and the actual cost incurred in the construction of the hydroelectric plant due to the signed contract that did not have sufficient guarantees for the benefit of Ecuador. It was noted that this project is beneficial to the country as it allowed savings in the tariff deficit suffered by the country, savings in fuel consumption and diesel subsidy because this type of energy does not use fuels. Income was also obtained by reducing pollutant gas emissions through the carbon bond. The first scenario of the financial evaluation resulted in a cost benefit of 13.19 an IRR of 161% and NPV of $ 12,034, the second scenario a cost benefit of 5.8 an IRR of 73% and NPV of $ 10,776.13. It should be noted that the second scenario was the real one and the difference was based on the price incurred in construction.
