The Honduras Arena Hydropower Project is located inRIO YAGUALARiver, in Yoro Province, northern Honduras. The total installed capacity is60megawatts, with a total investment of15hundreds of millions of RMB. Upon completion, it will provide the country with approximately229.72 GW/year of power generation, making it the largest hydropower station currently under construction in the country. The power station mainly consists of diversion tunnels, rolled concrete single-arch dams, diversion tunnels, pressure steel pipes, surge shafts, ground power plants and switch stations. The dam is100meters high,273meters long at the crest,30.8meters at its widest base,0.305with an aspect ratio of12kilometers long and an area of2660square meters. The reservoir capacity is5200ten thousand cubic meters.
