Project Pipeline

(Also known as the Dorsale Nord Regional Power Interconnector Project)

• Build 875 km of 330 kV line and 24 km of 225 kV line transmission interconnection between Niger, Nigeria, Benin and Burkina Faso
• Of this, 62 km of 330 kV lines in Nigeria, 425 km in Niger, 381 km in Burkina Faso, and 12 km in Benin
• 24 km of 225 kV transmission lines for the ring around Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso
• The main 330 kV transmission line from Birnin Kebbi in Nigeria to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso through Zabori and Niamey in Niger and Malanville in Benin will be capable of handling up to 600 MW. The 330 kV line will be a double-circuit line with the two circuits equipped, except the Zabori-Malanville section, where only one circuit will be equipped, which will be sufficient for the expected traffic
• The 225 kV line in Burkina Faso will include 9 km of double-circuit (Ouaga East-Ouaga South East) and 15 km of single-circuit lines (Ouaga South East-PA5) and will connect with the interconnection from Ghana (Bolgatanga)
