China has constructed considerable infrastructure and has been at the heart of Latin America's renewable revolution such as the Delsitanisagua project that accounts for 10% of Ecuador’s hydropower capacity and provides power for 500,000 people and the hydropower UHV DC transmission initiative that will occur over 2,000 km between Belo Monte and Sao Paulo in Brazil.
