Palestine - Solar PV for the North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment Plant
The Palestinian Water Authority (PWA) commissioned Phase 1 of the "North Gaza Emergency Sewage Treatment (NGEST) Project", which requires a total of 12 MW of electric power under full operation conditions. Several potential sources of power supply for the NGEST had been considered, but all of them were discounted for various reasons.
The present study, commissioned by the World Bank in collaboration with PWA and the Palestinian Energy and Natural Resource Authority (PENRA), assessed the feasibility of supplying NGEST with electricity generated from solar power sources.

Bangladesh - New 230/132 kV and 132/33 kV GIS substations
In its "Government Vision 2021", the Government of Bangladesh plans to supply electricity throughout the country by the year 2021. A study of the whole transmission network of Bangladesh revealed that a considerable number of grid substations and transmission lines, especially in rural areas, will be overloaded. Also, a number of substations will need renovation and modification to replace their aged equipment and unconventional designs.
Against this background, the present study shall develop necessary measures concerning:
- new 230/132 kV and 132/33 kV GIS substations,
- transmission line and substation renovation / upgrading and development.
The study shall prioritize proposed rehabilitation measures to account for different loan packages under discussion.
intec's services
- Review and update of information on the power subsector (incl. power plants, transmission and distribution grids, supply and consumption patterns, load forecast, losses, availability and reliability of electricity)
- Assessment of the power sector in the project areas and network analysis (update of existing load flow calculations for the time horizons 2019, 2022 and 2027)
- Review of preliminary line route identification provided by PGCB
- Preliminary survey of substation areas
- Proposal for layout of the transmission systems (line optimisation and tower spotting, line connections at existing substations, substation line-in/line-out connections, substation design (electrical, civil, communications / SCADA, access)
- Identification of training needs at PGCB concerning system planning and operation
- Cost estimates and economic and financial analyses
- Review of ESIA, mitigation measures and resettlement action plans.
