Multinational - 225KV Guinea-Mali Electricity Interconnection Project

The so-called "225 kV Guinea-Mali Electricity Interconnection Project" consists of the construction of a 225 kV alternating-current AC power line, approximately 714 km long, between the city Sanankoroba in Mali and Nzérékoré in Guinea (via Fomi in Guinea), with the establishment of the associated processing stations in the localities of Siguiri, Fomi, Kankan, Kérouane, Beyla and N'Zérékoré (in Guinea) then Sanankoroba (in Mali). It aims to facilitate energy management between Guinea and Mali, in order to improve people's consumption in affordable energy. The project should increase the availability of electricity to both countries and strengthen the establishment of the regional electricity market in West Africa, in accordance with the Master Plan adopted in 2012 by ECOWAS Heads of State. The project will contribute to the socioeconomic development of Mali and Guinea through community access to better quality and affordable electricity.
