AECOM powers grid inter-connection in the African energy sector

AECOM's extensive experience in this regard includes its involvement with the 2 000 km regional power interconnector project that will link the Zambian, Tanzanian, and Kenyan (ZTK) electricity grids. Not only will this boost power generation and distribution within the SAPP and EAPP,  it is also vital for power integration on the continent, and makes access to power for remote communities and industries possible. "This is our number one priority in Africa. We were recently shortlisted to submit a proposal for the Mozambique-Zambia 400 kV Interconnector Project. We also submitted an Expression of Interest to the Ugandan Regional Electrification Authority for two major transmission and distribution network projects," Naidoo reveals.
