The ZIZABONA transmission project consists of the development, financing, construction and operation of new transmission facilities in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Namibia to facilitate the creation of a western transmission corridor in the Southern African Power Pool to decongest the central corridor. The construction is 422 km of transmission interconnectors in Zimbabwe (Hwange) – Zambia Livingstone (Mukuni) – 101 km (Hwange to border) and 14km (border to Mukuni), Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) – Botswana (Pandamatenga) – 76 km, Zambia (Mukuni) – Namibia (Zambezi) – 231 km. All lines will be constructed at 400 kV, with initial operation at 330kV and initially targeting to transfer 300 MW . The project objectives are to:
• provide an alternative electrical power transmission in the region and decongest the existing central transmission corridor congest the existing central transmission corridor that passes through Zimbabwe, thus boosting electricity trading among Member States
• Interconnect the four countries
• Create an alternative wheeling path between North and South and Decongest the Central Transmission Corridor for enhanced power trade among SADC countries
