RIS/RIN Interconnection Project for Electricity Networks

The Electricity Network Interconnection Project (RIS/RIN) between Cameroon and Chad (PIRECT) is a transformative and integrative initiative designed to accelerate Cameroon’s structural development and enhance regional integration. This project aims to unify the electricity sectors of both countries, fostering connectivity similar to advancements in telecommunications.

Specifically, the project entails the construction of a 225 kV transmission line stretching approximately 530 km from the Nachtigal upstream power station to the new Wouro Soua substation near Ngaoundéré. Additionally, it involves the development of four new substations: three at 225 kV (Yoko, Tibati, and Wouro Soua) and one at 400 kV (Ntui).

iED Consult’s involvement in this project, encompassing everything from engineering studies to supervision and construction, includes the following activities:

• Conducting technical studies, including network assessments and the preparation of terms of reference for additional studies.
• Overseeing and supervising construction work, providing support during the warranty period, managing project and contract administration, monitoring the implementation of the Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) and the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP), validating compliance, preparing project progress and completion reports, and facilitating skill transfer
