Project Description
Cameroon and Chad plan to optimise the use of their energy resources by integrating their power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure.
It will involve the construction of:
• a 225 kV high-voltage main transmission line between Ngaoundéré and Maroua, in Cameroon, and N’Djamena, in Chad;
• a 225 kV high-voltage link between Maroua, in Cameroon, and Bongor, Guelendeng and N’Djamena, in Chad;
• related high-voltage/medium-voltage transformer stations; and
• rural electrification distribution networks along transmission line corridors.
About 1 024 km of high-voltage transmission lines (786 km in Cameroon and 238 km in Chad) will be built, and 478 localities along these lines (409 of them in Cameroon and 69 in Chad) electrified. It is one of Central Africa’s priority integration projects.
