Kafue-Muzuma-Victoria Falls corridor transmission project, Zambia
Name and Location
Kafue-Muzuma-Victoria Falls corridor transmission project, Zambia.
Client
Zesco.
Project Description
The project includes the upgrading of the existing 220 kV transmission line and the construction of new or enhancing existing substations.
It involves upgrading the existing 348 km transmission line from Kafue through Muzuma to Victoria Falls from 220 kV to 330 kV.
A new substation at Livingstone will be built, and the existing bay, line control and monitoring system at the Victoria Falls substation will be upgraded to enhance operational flexibility and reliability.
Two substations at Kafue and Muzuma will also be upgraded and, once complete, will provide a high level of security and quality of supply for the region.
To keep the transmission link serviceable throughout the upgrade, temporary 220 kV bypass line sections will be built on a section-by-section basis where line upgrades are taking place.
At the substations, primary sections will also be bypassed during their upgrade so that the contractor can work efficiently in a nonenergised environment.
Value
The project will be funded by the European Investment Bank and the World Bank.
