5 RÍO NEUQUÉN BASIN Area: 30,000 km2 (up to Paso de los Indios) Río Neuquén Length: 440 km Río Neuquén Flowrate: 309 m3/s at Paso de los Indios/La Higuera. Probable Maximum Rise in Level: m 3 /sec Decamillenary Rise in Level: m3/sec Rise in level: from May to July due to rainfalls, and from October to December due to thaw. Hydropower projects existing: Cerros Colorados Hydroelectric Complex

6 RÍO NEUQUÉN BASIN Portezuelo Grande has a handling capacity of up to 11,500 m 3 /sec rise in level, of which 7,900 m 3 /sec are derived to Los Barreales basin and 3,600 m 3 /sec must be derived to the Portezuelo Grande- El Chañar section that, under normal operating conditions, has a constant flow of 12 m 3 /sec. Cerros Colorados Hydroelectric Complex System to control rise in level and regulation of flows from Río Neuquén to ensure water supply for human consumption, irrigation and hydropower generation. It consists of the following dams: - Portezuelo Grande - Loma de la Lata - Planicie Banderita - Chañar It forms the following reservoirs: - Los Barreales - Mari Menuco - El Chañar Planicie Banderita Power Plant: - Installed Power : 479 MW - Annual Mean Energy: GWh/year.

12 Pini Mahuida La Invernada Huitrín Cerro Rayoso Emhidro SEP, through an agreement entered into with Neuquén Mining Department, has carried out geological surveys of Pini Mahuida, La Invernada and Cerro Rayoso areas, to establish their regional geological and structural features. As part of the Studies Program of the Energy Sector (PESE, in Spanish) of the Department of Energy's Office, which is funded by the Andean Development Corporation (CAF, in Spanish) the development of the bidding construction projects has been tendered and awarded. The estimated date for the start of works is October 2015 and will be conducted by the consulting firms INTERTECHNE - HISSA - HCA and GRIMAUX. Pini Mahuida, La Invernada and Cerro Rayoso projects have been included in the Power Works for the National Development and Integration Plan prepared by the National Government in 2014 year.
