AES Gets Go-ahead for White Nile Hydro Facility

LCG, Dec. 21, 2001--AES Corp. announced today that the Uganda government has granted its AES Nile Power subsidiary final approval to begin the construction of a $550 million, 200 megawatt hydroelectric facility on the Nile River at a site about 6 miles north of Lake Victoria.

The AES unit will own, operate and construct the hydroelectric facility and related transmission lines and two substations. A local partner, Madhvani International, will take a minority interest in the business. The facility will take about four years to complete.

Power will be sold under a 30-year power purchase agreement to the government-owned Uganda Electricity Board and its successor once the UEB is privatized. The government of Uganda has guaranteed payment under the agreement.
