Multinational - Cameroon and Chad Power Interconnection Project (Cameroon component)

The Cameroon-Chad Power Interconnection Project stems from the desire of both countries to optimize the use of their energy resources by integrating their power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure. It will involve the construction of: (i) a 225 kV high-voltage (HV) main transmission line between Ngaoundéré and Maroua (Cameroon) and N’Djamena (Chad); (ii) a 225 kV high-voltage link between Maroua (Cameroon), Bongor, Guelendeng and N’Djamena (Chad); (iii) related high-voltage (HV)/medium-voltage (MV) transformer stations; and (iv) rural electrification distribution networks along transmission line corridors. In total, about 1 024 kilometres of HV transmission lines (786 kilometres in Cameroon and 238 kilometres in Chad) will be constructed and 478 localities along these lines (409 of them in Cameroun and 69 in Chad) electrified. It is one of Central Africa’s priority integration projects.
