Summary
<p>Construction of 905 km single circuit bidirectional 330 kV transmission interconnector from Kabwe in Zambia to the Tanzanian border at Nakonde. In Zambia, the component of the ZTK: Kabwe - Pensulo, 298 km. A second 330 kV line is required in addition to the existing. Pensulo -Mpika, 197 km. A second 330 kV line is required in addition to the existing. Mpika - Kasama, 197 km. A second 330 kV line is required in addition to the existing. Kasama -Nakonde, 212 km. Two new 330 kV circuits required Nakonde ZM/TZ Border, New 14 km Double circuit 400 kV line required.</p>
Description

<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>

Project Risk

<p>The major risks facing the interconnection project were identified and analysed.</p>
<p>Among these risks, special attention is warranted to the following categories of risks and to the measures to</p>
<p>mitigate them:</p>
<p>? Operational risks (in particular, the risks arising from organizational or technical reasons);</p>
<p>? Financial risks;</p>
<p>? Risks related to the environmental and social impacts;</p>
<p>While these risks and their impact are potentially serious, adequate mitigating measures, as indicated in</p>
<p>section 14, can reduce their likelihood of occurrence, diminish their impact, and ensure successful completion</p>
<p>and operation of the interconnection.</p>

Summary
Construction of 414 km / 400 kV section of the ZTK transmission interconnector from Singida (Tanzania) to Namanga (border with Kenya).
Description

<p>Construction of a transmission line that connects the power networks of Zambia, Tanzania and Kenya. This project initially included the section of 400kV, 1134km bidirectional Tanzanian section of the 2,800km ZTK interconnector from Kasama in Zambia to Tunduma-Mbeya-Iringa-Singida-Arusha in Tanzania terminating at Isinya in Kenya. The design capacity of the Tanzania section is 2000MW. 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).
