Multinational - 330 kV WAPP Nigeria – Benin Interconnection Reinforcement Project

The Nigeria –Benin Interconnection Reinforcement Project, which is a West Africa Power Pool (WAPP) key priority, will ensure stable integration of the national electricity networks in the ECOWAS Region and facilitate the accessibility to economic energy resources to all member states of the region. The project will help the construction of a 330 kV double circuit high voltage transmission line from Erukan (Nigeria) to Sakete (Benin) and help meet the needs of the ECOWAS region in suppling reliable electricity supply at affordable cost. The project will definitely advance WAPP's goal to establish more secure, reliable transmission corridors for power exchange and help catalyse the development of energy resources, and the transfer of low-cost energy supply. The increased volumes of power derived from the project, will boost the region's economies and contribute to poverty reduction efforts.
