The 330 kV CA´te d"™Ivoire - Ghana Interconnection Reinforcement Project is part of the WAPP Coastal Transmission Backbone which aims at establishing a robust interconnection link and corridor for power exchanges among CA´te d"™Ivoire, Ghana, Benin/Togo and Nigeria. The national power grids of Ghana and CA´te d"™Ivoire have been interconnected by a 225 kV line since 1983. This line which has been used to stabilize power supply between the two countries is nearing saturation and there is need for a new line parallel to the existing one in order to satisfy the increasing demand for power exchange between CA´te d"™Ivoire and Ghana. The proposed 330 kV line is approximately 300 km long (177 km in CA´te d"™Ivoire and 119 in Ghana) and involves the construction of a transmission line, construction of a new substation at Akoupe-Zeudji in the North East of Abidjan in CA´te d"™Ivoire and the construction of a new substation '"™Dunkwa"™"™ 2 at Dunkwa-on-Offin in Ghana.
