The main objective of the project is to provide a cost effective measure to strengthen the existing transmission network in Lusaka in order to improve the quality and reliability of supply within the power transmission network. Therefore, the Lusaka 132kV Transmission Ring Reinforcement project is aimed at: Increasing the capacity of the existing 132kV lines, upgrading the 88kV lines to 132kV, reinforcing the bulk supply substations in order to increase the capacity of supply to the distribution system in Lusaka; Meeting the increased demand which has outstripped system capacity; Reducing local load shedding which is due to depleted transmission systems capacity; Improving the electricity network performance and thereby improve customer service delivery; Providing sufficient and dependable power to support development activities in Lusaka; Contributing to the improvement in the standard of living of the people within and outside the project area, and, Mitigating local power deficit, supply industrial, commercial, and agricultural sectors. Brief Description of Project Location The proposed project area is located in Lusaka, the capital city of Zambia. The project area encloses the entire Central Business District (CBD) of Lusaka including some outlying areas of Chongwe in the east and extends further south east to Leopards Hill substation. In the west the Ring extends up to Lusaka West substation. In between Leopards Hill and Lusaka West substations, the Ring passes through three main supply points which are Coventry substation in the light industrial area close to city market, Waterworks substation in Libala area, and eventually into Roma substation. Location maps are presented in Appendix 3.
