Project Showcase

L'interconnexion électrique entre le Burundi et la Tanzanie fait partie de la liste restreinte des projets prioritaires du PAP 2 de l'UA-PIDA, le plan directeur de l'EAC, et relève du programme d'interconnexions régionales NELSAP des Grands Lacs (PMIREL-PLEN). Chacun des réseaux des 2 pays est connecté ou en voie de l'être prochainement à ses voisins respectifs, mais ils ne sont pas encore directement connectés entre eux. Ce projet construira un de ces chaînons manquants. Le projet comportera 2 composantes : C.1 Construction de la ligne de transmission de 180 km ; C.2 réinstallation/indemnisation des personnes affectées le long de l'infrastructure, ainsi que des études environnementales, des études de préfaisabilité et de faisabilité.
