Measures identified for Phase I include the rehabilitation of one 132/33 kV, 3 x 63 MVA GIS substation and three 132/33/11 kV AIS substations, supply of three 132/33/11 kV, 3 x 63 MVA power transformers, supply of 132 kV transmission line towers and accessories for rehabilitation of six transmission lines, supply of eight 33/11 kV, 31.5 MVA mobile substations, five 33/11 kV, 31.5 MVA power transformers and supply of distribution transformers 11/0.4 kV, different power ratings, as well as distribution kiosks and accessories.
Measures identified for Phase II include the rehabilitation of a 400/132/11 kV, 4 x 250 MV GIS substation, the construction of two new 132/33 kV, 3 x 63 MVA GIS substations, the construction of two new 33/11 kV, 3 x 31.5 MVA distribution substations and the construction of 154 km new double circuit transmission line.
