Transmission line - Franceville-Bifoun Department Project cost Financing Planning

Context and objectives The development of economic hubs throughout the national territory requires an efficient routing of electricity produced by six large dams that will be built in Gabon by 2020. The national energy plan provides the implementation of a national electricity transmission network which will feed the industrial development along the South corridor and corridor 1 (Transgabonais). The implementation of the network will be in four phases. Phase III will cover the stretch: Fougamou-Lambarn-Ekouk-Nkok The study of feasibility of this transmission line is completed and the preliminary phase is carried out at 50%.
