Zambia - Feasibility Study for Small Hydropower Station

Kafue Gorge Regional Training Centre (KGRTC), established in 1989, provides quality training to regional power utilities. KGRTC intended to develop a small hydropower station at Kafue Gorge with ancillary transmission structures, termination and connection to the grid. The station has been constructed between the existing Kafue Gorge Power Station dam site and the tailrace of the Kafue Gorge Lower Hydropower Station, the size of the SHPP shall be a result of the present feasibility study. The feasibility study led to the preparation of a full basic design and of tender documents for the procurement of an EPC contractor.

Vietnam - Smart Grid - Power Transmission Efficiency (Phase 1)

In 2011, the Government of Vietnam approved the National Power Sector Development Masterplan VII (PDMP VII) and approved a number of power generation and transmission projects to be implemented between 2011 and 2020. German financial cooperation through KfW contributes a loan for a 2-phase transmission efficiency project.

Phase 1 of this project covered 6 subprojects, 3 new 220 kV substations, and 3 new 220 kV transmission lines for which the Vietnam National Power Transmission Corporation (NPT) prepared feasibility studies and ESIAs.

The consultancy services contracted under this Phase 1 covered contract support to KfW in the preparation of the overall project.

The project covers the following technical measures:

Construction of 132 kV double-circuit transmission lines and line in-/line outs to substations
Stringing of a second circuit on an existing 132 kV line and installation of OPGW
Construction of 230 kV double-circuit transmission lines and line-in/line-out to existing lines
