3 | Ecuador's Villonaco wind farm project, located in the province of Loja, is considered emblematic of the government of President Rafael Correa Delgado, himself a former economist. | Ny tetikasan'i Ekoatora “Villonaco wind farm project”, na vala famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra, any amin'ny faritanin'i Loja, dia noraisina ho zava-mampiavaka ny governemantan'ny Filoha Rafael Correa Delgado, izy tenany rahateo mpahay toekarena. |
4 | Morevoer, it is the world's highest such eolian structure, built some 2,720 metres above sea level. | Etsy andaniny, ity no foto-drafitrasa famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra avo toerana indrindra eran-tany, naorina any amin'ny 2.720 metatra miala amin'ny haavon'ny ranomasina. |
5 | On Wednesday January 2, 2013, President Correa refused to officially open the Villonaco wind farm, branding it incomplete because it does not have an access road. | Ny Alarobia 2 Janoary 2013, nandà tsy hanokatra amin'ny fomba ofisialy ilay vala famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra ny Filoha Correa, nanamarika hoe tsy tomombana ilay izy satria tsy misy arabe fidirana mankao amin'izy io. |
6 | For this president, a finished project is one with adequate access. | Ho an'ity filoha ity, ny tetikasa iray vita tanteraka dia izay misy fidirana araka ny tokony ho izy mankao. |
7 | What's more it shows a lack of respect to have the president driven over a road full of pot holes. | Ambonin'izany maneho tsy fanajàna ny filoha ilay izy amin'ny fitondràna azy aminà làlana be lavadavaka. |
8 | It pains to me to say it, but this is why I did not inaugurate the Villonaco project today. | Manahirana ho ahy ny milaza azy, nefa dia izay no antony tsy nitokanako ny tetikasa Villonaco androany. |

11 | The wind farm is made up of 11 generators with a total output capacity of 16.5 MW, a substation to step up power from 34.5 to 69 kilovolts, and a subtransmission line that links the Villonaco substation to its counterpart in Loja, which is on Ecuador's national power grid. | Ilay vala famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra dia ahitàna hery mpihary 11 manana tanjaka mitontaly 16.5 MW rehefa atambatra, “sous-station” iray hampiakatra ny tanjaka hiala amin'ny 34.5 ho tonga 69 kilovolts, ary tambajotram-pitsinjarana iray izay mampifandray ilay “sous-station” ao Villonaco amin'ilay mitovy aminy ao Loja, izay ao anatin'ny tambajotran'herinaratry ny firenena ao Ekoatora. |
12 | The system was set up by the Chinese company Xinjian Goldwind Science and Technology and will cut CO2 emissions by as much as 35.270 metric tons a year. | Ny orinasa Shinoa “Xinjian Goldwind Science and Technology” no nanangana ny foto-drafitrasa ary hampihena ny fandefasana entona CO2 hatrany amin'ny 35.270 taonina isan-taona. |
13 | It will also reduce diesel imports, the fuel needed to generate thermal electricity. | Io dia hanena ihany koa ny fanafàrana solika mavesatra, solika ilaina hanodinana ireo toby mpihary herinaratra ahodin-tsolika. |
14 | As Correa points out on Ecuador's Ministry of Tourism website, “We would save almost USD 13 million per year in fuel costs alone.” | Araka izay tsipihan'i Correa ao amin'ny tranonkalan'ny Ministeran'ny Fizahantany ao Ekoatora, “Tadiavintsika ny hanana tahiry eo amin'ny 13 tapitrisa dolara amerikana eo isan-taona amin'ny resaka vidin-tsolika fotsiny.” |
15 | Ecuador's electrical company CELEC is in charge of the infrastructure, with an investment of USD 36 million. | Ny orinasa mpamokatra herinaratra ao Ekoatora, CELEC, no mitantana ny foto-drafitrasa, miaraka aminà fampiasam-bola mitentina 36 tapitrisa dolara amerikana. |
16 | The benefits are myriad, especially in terms of the environment insofar as the project will reduce toxic emissions in the atmosphere; in economic terms, it will satisfy 25% of the annual energy consumption of the province of Loja. | Marolafy ny tombony, indrindra raha resaka tontolo iainana satria ilay tetikasa dia hampihena ny fandefasana entona misy poizina eny amin'ny rivotra iainana; raha lafiny toekarena, dia hiantoka ny 25% amin'ny filàna angovo isan-taona izy ity ao amin'ny faritanin'i Loja. |
17 | The project will also cover 68,7% of the demand currently handled by the Empresea Eléctrica Regional Sur, the company that provides power to the provinces of Loja, Zamora, and sections of Morona Santiago. | Handrakotra koa ny 68,7% amin'ny tinady sahanin'ny “Empresea Eléctrica Regional Sur” amin'izao fotoana izy ity, ilay orinasa izay manome angovo ny faritanin'i Loja, Zamora, ary ampahany amin'i Morona Santiago. |
18 | An additional advantage is that it will generate some 90% of local jobs, direct and indirect employment of 257 and 760 posts respectively. | Tombontsoa fanampiny ny hoe izy ity ho afaka hiteraka asa ho an'ny 90%-n'ireo ao an-toerana, fampiasàna mivantana sy ankolaka ho an'olona 257 ary toerana ho anà 760 isan'isany. |
19 | It also promises to be an important tourist attraction, with an information centre open to locals and visitors from farther afield. | Mahabe fanantenana ihany koa ny haha-toerana mahasarika mpizahantany azy io, miaraka aminà foibe fanovozam-baovao misokatra ho an'ny mponina sy ny mpitsidika tonga avy lavitra. |
20 | During his January 2 visit to Loja, however, the president declined the opportunity to inaugurate, among other projects, the Villonaco wind farm, characterising it as incomplete because of the poor state of its access roads. | Nandritra ny fitsidihany an'i Loja tamin'ny 2 Janoary, na izany aza, nolavin'ny filoha ny fotoana nahafahany nitokana ilay vala famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra ao Villonaco, tanatin'ireo tetikasa hafa, tamin'ny fanasokajiany azy io ho tsy tomombana noho ny toetoetrany tsizarizary sy ny tsy fisian'ny araba fidirana any. |
21 | I refuse to inaugurate the wind farm project because we are not mediocre. | Laviko ny hitokana ilay tetikasa famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra satria tsy mitapy akory isika. |
22 | We did not provide the cornerstone: a decent means of entry. | Tsy natolotsika ny tena zava-dehibe: fitaovana tsotra iray mba hidirana any. |
23 | In response to this, a number of residents of Loja commented on Twitter. | Ho valin'io, betsaka tamin'ireo mponina ao Loja no naneho hevitra tao amin'ny Twitter. |

26 | They were just firing up ONE turbine. | Nanodina fotsiny ny vondrom-pihary IRAY ry zareo. |
27 | Keep those batteries charging! | Ezaho ho tsara fàhana hatrany ireny vatoaratra ireny! |

31 | JOHANNA ORDOÑEZ (@joaordonezceli), a journalist in Loja, tweeted on Wednesday evening, January 2: | JOHANNA ORDOÑEZ (@joaordonezceli), mpanao gazety avy ao Loja, nibitsika ny alin'ny Alarobia 2 Janoary hoe : |
32 | @joaordonezceli: President Rafael Correa cancelled the launch of the wind farm, because it wasn't 100% finished, it is missing access roads | @joaordonezceli: Nofoanan'ny Filoha Rafael Correa ny fandefasana ny vala famokarana herinaratra ahodin-drivotra, satria tsy vita 100% ilay izy, tsy misy arabe fidirana mankao |
33 | In the end the provincial government of Loja (GPL) was tasked with improving the access road. | Farany dia nomena baiko hanatsara ny arabe mankao ny governemantam-paritany tao Loja (GPL) . |
