The Project consists of the development of a hydroelectric power station with a capacity of 600MW, and the construction of associated transmission lines to localities in Northern Congo, South-Eastern Cameroon and South-Western CAR. The project objectives are to:
• Increase the rate of access to electricity for the populations of the Republic of Congo and Cameroon
• Solve the issue of electricity shortage in the areas concerned
• Contribute to regional integration
• Improve the conditions of women
• Reduce poverty and significantly reduce rural exodus
• Preserve the Environment by contributing to the fight against deforestation in the Project area – Substitute hydroelectric production for thermal production and thus reduce the emission of greenhouse gases Tight

This Project is part of the promotion of new Transboundary Basin Organizations (Ogooué, Ntem, Nyanga, and Komo), located in Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. It is a question of carrying out two priority integrator projects which are: the creation of the two hydroelectric power stations which are: BOOUE and TSENGUE LELEDI (in the center of Gabon) and transmission lines associated.
To this end, ECCAS requested and obtained funding from the African Water Facility for: (i) the conduct of summary and detailed pre-project studies (APS and APD) of the Booué and Tsengué-Lélédi hydroelectric infrastructures; and power transmission lines;
(ii) carrying out an environmental and social impact study for each site.
The project objectives are to:
• Increase the production capacity of Gabon and interconnect the electricity grids with neighboring states (Cameroon, Republicof Congo, Equatorial Guinea)
• Increase the rate of access to electricity for the populations of the 4 states concerned
• Contribute to strengthening regional integration, electrical interconnection, accelerating access to modern energies.

Mambilla Power project is a 3.05GW hydroelectric facility being developed on the Dongo River near Baruf, in Kakara Village of Taraba
State, Nigeria. The project is being undertaken by Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Power and is expected to go into full commercial
operation in 2030. When completed Mambilla will be Nigeria’s biggest power plant, producing approximately 5.457 billion kWh of
electricity a year. The project objectives are to:
• To increase electricity access of the country; stimulate economic growth development and enhancement of living standards of
millions of Nigerians and neighbouring countries, in particular increase power export to Niger, Togo, Benin and Chad
• increase Nigeria’s current electricity generation by 30% and the country’s baseload electricity generation capacity, hence improving
grid stability
• The project will be a major source of additional power generation capacity that will make Nigeria meet its 90% electricity access
rate by year 2030, as well as increase renewable energy use to 30% by year 2030.

Project aimed at securing the service to the cities of the Inga-Moanda-Boma-Cabinda-Pointe Noire-Brazzaville-Kinshasa-Inga loop and the ramp of the future backbone of the Corridor Maquela-Do Zombo-Inga-Cabinda-Pointe Noire-Gabon-Equatorial Guinea- Cameroon-Chad. The project objectives are to:
• Increase the energy supply in the region
• Make the availability of electrical energy reliable on the network of the 3 countries
• Contribute to the socio-economic development of these countries
• Promote trade in electricity and regional integratio

The Guba (Ethiopia)-Khartoum (Sudan) project is one of the proposed cross power interconnectors between five countries in the Horn of Africa under the them ‘Eastern Africa Green Power Transmission Network Projects’ countries involved include Ethiopia, Djibouti, Eritrea, Sudan, South Sudan, and Somalia. This will form a large regional transmission network which would be part of the Eastern African Power Pool. The project objectives are to:
• Compliment ongoing efforts to foster regional power system integration in the broader Eastern Africa region through EAPP
• Facilitate power trade between Ethiopia and Sudan, and latter with Egypt and other countries as the line constitutes a key part
of the North to South Africa power transmission corridor
• Optimal development of available generation resources in the region
• Supply countries in context with green power at a reasonable price.
