Construction of a 500kV high voltage transmission line and associated Substation or Converter station that connects the power networks of Egypt and Sudan to facilitate trading in electricity and promote power systems stability. The project comprises the update of project studies.

The project entails the construction of a 200 km, 400 kV(initially 220 kV) power line from Matambo substation, in Mozambique, to Phombeya, north of Blantyre. The first assignment will involve the design, supply and installation of the 400 kV overhead transmission line from the Mozambique-Malawi border to a new substation at Phombeya. The second assignment will entail the design, supply and installation of the new 400 kV Phombeya substation. Other assignments include extension of Matambo substation (Mozambique) and upgrading of SCADA systems (EDM).

Feasibility study update – determine the demand forecasting, the review of the two countries generation expansion plan, determine possible power exchange and assess the financial and economic viability of the project. -Preparation of project conceptual designs, specifications and tender documents. –a desktop assessment of extreme weather events and weather conditions and anticipated impact of climate change in the proposed project areas. –identify the project's vulnerability to climate changes and trends. –propose adaptation and resilience measures to be reflected in the project design, technical specifications, and maintenance and operation guidelines of project infrastructure –identify, classify, assess, and rate the risks involved in the development and operation of the proposed interconnector project and discuss and advise on risk minimization and mitigation measures and risk allocation among the various parties involved in project development, financing, and operations –recommend appropriate organizational, institutional, commercial, and operational frameworks for financing, construction, operation, and maintenance of the interconnection at various levels (intergovernmental; inter-utility; the regional (EAPP) policy, regulatory, and commercial frameworks, etc.) –Recommend procurement strategy and institutional organization, including staffing and outside assistance (owner's engineer, project management specialists, etc.) for implementing the interconnector project
