<p>Construction of a transmission line that connects the power networks of Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya. This project includes the section of 905km Zambian section of the 2,800km&Acirc; ZTK interconnector from Kabwe-Pensulo-Nakonde-Kasama in Zambia to Tunduma&Acirc; in Tanzania. The project was envisioned to be implemented in two phases starting with the Kabwe-Pensulo-Kasama-Nakonde&Acirc; section and the second phase would have&Acirc; comprised the Kabwe-Pensulo-Mpika-Kasama section. It will have had a capacity of&Acirc; 500MW, upgradable to 2000MW depending on power demand.</p>
<p>The original concept for the ZTK Interconnector was a high voltage 330 kV transmission line going from Pensulo (Zambia) to Nairobi (Kenya) with three connection points in Tanzania (Mbeya, Singida and Arusha). At that time, Tanzania grid was operated at 220 kV. The original concept of the ZTK Interconnector has been replaced, by two interconnections between two national grids: the Kenya-Tanzania Interconnection and the Zambia-Tanzania Interconnection.</p>

<p>Construction of a transmission line that connects the power networks of Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya. This project includes the section of 400kV, 292km Iringa - Kisada - Mbeya transmission line,&Acirc; 122km of 400kV Mbeya - Tunduma transmission line and 4km of 400kV transmission line from Tunduma to Border of Zambia.&Acirc; </p>

<p>Construction of a transmission line that connects the power networks of Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya. This project includes the section of 670km of 400kV transmission line from Iringa to Shinyanga via Dodoma and Singida.&Acirc; The&Acirc; design capacity of this section is 2000MW.</p>

<p>The proposed Sambangalou dam project entails the construction of a gravity dam, with a 128 MW capacity, and a 3.8 km3 reservoir. The dam is located in Senegal, 930 km upstream from the mouth of the Gambia river and about 25 km south of Kédougou. The reservoir overlaps Senegal and Guinea. The project now has two components, i.e. Sambangalou Dam and an interconnection transmission line which will link the Sambangalou and Kaleta dams to the electric grid of the four member countries.</p>

<p>The project was formerly part of larger OMVG Energy project involving fuoir countries (with Kaleta dam in Guinea and interconnecting power grid), however it split in 2011 after Guinea decided to develop Kaleta dam as a standalone.</p>

<p>A 147&Acirc; MW hydropower plant will be constructred on the Ruzizi River. It will provide electricity supply to Rwanda, Burundi and the&Acirc; DRC.&Acirc; It entails the construction of a run-of-river dam between DRC and Rwanda, downstream from the Ruzizi II hydropower dam, a 147&Acirc; MW power plant and a distribution station. Power will be transmitted to the three countries from the Kamanyola substation by 220 kV transmission lines.</p>
<p>The Ruzizi III project will significantly transform the electricity sectors in the countries concerned. Its implementation will contribute to:&Acirc; </p>
<p>(i) optimal exploitation of the Ruzizi River's energy potential to improve security of supplies and access to electricity; and</p>
<p>(ii) the strengthening of regional economic integration by creating a market for electricity.</p>

<p>The C-O MISOA was initiated in late 2014 with support from the World Bank-managed multi-donor transboundary river basin development facility, the&Acirc; Cooperation in International Waters in Africa (CIWA). CIWA facilitated a consultative approach to develop the tools needed to identify sustainable regional investment opportunities in the Cubango-Okavango basin, an area of global environmental significance threatened by deep, persistent poverty within the three strong middle-income member countries;&Acirc; Angola, Namibia and Botswana.</p>

<p>The project entails the construction of a hydro power station in the Tete province of Mozambique situated along the Zambezi River, 61km downstream from Cahora Bassa. Phase I of the project is estimated to provide 1,500 MW generating capacity with Phase II adding a further 900 MW of capacity. The plant is mid merit and will be able to provide both peak and off peak power. The plant is expected to be able to supply approximately 850 MW of firm power. The electricity generated is expected to be transported down the CESUL transmission line. The proje's anchor customers are expected to be EDM (10% to 20% of offtake) and a power utility of a neighbouring country.</p>

<p>The project entails the construction of a 200 km, 400 kV(initially 220 kV) power line from Matambo substation, in Mozambique, to Phombeya, north of Blantyre. The first assignment will involve the design, supply and installation of the 400 kV overhead transmission line from the Mozambique-Malawi border to a new substation at Phombeya. The second assignment will entail the design, supply and installation of the new 400 kV Phombeya substation. Other assignments include extension of Matambo substation (Mozambique) and upgrading of SCADA systems (EDM).</p>
