<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 96km Kenyan section of the 2,800km ZTK interconnector&Acirc; from&Acirc; Arush in Tanzania to Isinya in Kenya. In Kenya, the line will be linked to the High Voltage Direct Current Interconnector between Kenya and Ethiopia.</p>

<p>The ECOWAS Master Plan for the Development of Regional Power Generation and Transmission Infrastructure 2019 -2033 identifies the key priority projects that have been sanctioned by the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government for implementation by WAPP to ensure stable integration of the national electricity networks in the ECOWAS Region and facilitate optimal power exchanges and trading among the Member States.</p><p>The implementation strategy of the WAPP assumes the realisation of distinct but mutually complementary infrastructure subprograms, which when realised will result in an integrated efficient electricity system in West Africa. Key among the infrastructure sub-programs to be developed is a catalogue of renewable energy projects primarily aimed at augmenting the renewable energy component in the regional energy mix and also reducing the supply-demand imbalance within the ECOWAS sub-region. The WAPP Regional Solar Power Park Project in Mali of potential capacity 150 MW features prominently among the Priority Projects. The Project is scalable, multiphase and multisite. Three sites are selected, namely Fana, Bougouni and Sanankoroba around Bamako.<br></p>

<p>Establish and protect fenced forest areas around wells using clean new and renewable energies to extract water. Installing pumps on a number of 15 pastoral wells in Sahel Al-Jafara in northwestern Libya, and they are operated by solar energy or wind energy for the purpose of watering animals and establishing forest areas around the wells that are among its priorities to establish natural reserves for different animals that are distinguished in the region in addition to developing the area pastorally.</p><p>The project serves a planned infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is less than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector planned asset.</p><p>The other sector such as:</p><ul><li>The agricultural sector (increasing vegetation and combating desertification)</li><li>Tourism and leisure sector (establishment of green spaces and parks)</li><li>Environmental sector and facing climate change (preserving wildlife such as migratory birds and animals)</li></ul>

<p>The Trans Sahara Gas Pipeline (TSGP) is a main gas transmission pipeline from Calabar in Nigeria to Beni Saf in Algeria. The dimension is 48" with a design pressure of 100 barg, which gives an overall transport capacity of 20 bcm/year (60mcm/day). The overall length of the pipeline is ca 4400 km, of which 1037 km in Nigeria, 841 km in Niger, 2303 km in Algeria and 220km Subsea from Algeria to Spain.  </p>

<p>The pipeline route follows the route of the Trans-Nigerian pipeline from Calabar to Kano in Nigeria. It is expected that the pipeline will be connected to the Nigerian gas transmission system. In Niger, it is expected that there will be off-take points in the south for power production plants and in the north close to the mines for power production and potentially for direct use in the vehicles and machines used in the mining activities, where gas could replace oil. In Algeria, the pipeline follows the Trans-Saharan highway to Hassi R´Mel, where the pipeline will be connected to the northern part of the integrated gas transmission system. From Hassi R´Mel, the pipeline will follow a number of existing pipelines to Beni Saf. The middle part of the Algerian section will run in the same horizontal level as pipelines from In Salah and In Armenas. More than half of the pipeline section is hence to be constructed in well-known terrain and conditions in respectively Nigeria and Algeria. Only the middle section, from Kano in Nigeria to the south of Algeria, via Niger, is to be considered as new terrain for large diameter pipeline construction. Finally a 220km subsea pipeline would be constructed from Beni saf in Algeria to Spain in order to supply gas to the European market.</p>

<p>The duplication of the RN06 between the town of Mascara with high agricultural potential and that of Bechar in the south and the RN 50 between Bechar and the town of Tindouf to continue to the border with Mauritania. This motorway axis can extend to the town of Choum in Mauritania.</p><p>The project serves an existing infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is more than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector existing asset.</p><p><br></p>

<p>The aim is to carry out technical and economic feasibility studies, the results of which must enable the decision-making data to be decided on the integration of the electricity market of Morocco and Mauritania in the context of the integration of the Maghreb market. Also allow visibility on the cost of this interconnection and the potential of its financing closing.</p><p>Study to shed light on technical and economic data on the importance of the inteconnexion of electric reseaxu of Marco and Mauritania<br></p><p>The project does not serve an existing or planned infrastructure asset of another sector. There is no interconnection between Morocco and Mauritania today, which weakens the chances of regional integration.</p>

<p>The implementation of this project includes the following actions:
</p><ul><li> The modernization of the line in Morocco (Fes- Oujda),
</li><li> The rehabilitation of the section between Morocco and Algeria (Cross-border Morocco- Algerian, Ouida- Akid Abbas),
</li><li> The creation of a new cross-border rail link between Algeria and Tunisia (linking Annaba to Jendouba),
</li><li> The modernization between Jendouba and Jedeida,
</li><li> Different technological interventions for energy and control and signalling subsystems.</li></ul><p>The project serves an existing infrastructure asset of another sector, but there is more than 50% overlap in the geography serviced by the proposed project and the other sector existing asset.</p><p>Tracks, structures and tunnels, to be built or duplicated. In addition, all sections will be electrified with the 2x25 kV electrification subsystem and train management will be carried out with the ERTMS N2 subsystem. One-off interventions in signalling and telecommunications subsystems are also planned.<br></p>
