Project overview
About this development
The Mozambique-Malawi Transmission Interconnection Project is expected to be completed by 2015 and will connect Malawi to the SAPP, allowing two-way energy trade between the two countries. This will ensure much-needed diversification in Malawi’s electricity supply and allow the export of any off-peak power surpluses. It will also provide Mozambique’s energy sector with a new revenue source. Under the project, Mozambique will build about 135 kilometres of 220 kiloVolt (kV) transmission line and extend the existing Matambo substation while on the Malawi side, approximately 75 km of 220 kV transmission line will be constructed and a new 220 kV substation installed. The interconnection will allow Malawi to have access to the SAPP market through Mozambique interconnected grid with Zimbabwe and South Africa. The exact co-ordinates are currently not available however the approximate area of location is lat: -16.2969136; long: 33.50438859999999
