Summary
Ethiopia Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo) is undertaking the construction of a transmission system project in Ethiopia.

The project involves the construction of four, 230kV transmission lines and 12 associated substations.

The four transmission lines will be carried forward in four different lots.

The first lot includes the Alaba-Hossana-Wolkite-Gilgel-GibeI-Jimma-Agaro-Bedele transmission line located in two different regional states of Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples (SNNPR) and Oromiya regions. The line will interlink between the 132kV lines on the south west and the 400kV lines on central south part of the country as well as the power plant such as Gojeb, Halele Werabesa.

The second lot includes the Koka-Hurso-Dire Dawa transmission line which will be constructed between Koka existing substation, Hurso (new substation) and Dire Dawa existing substation. The existing Koka substation will be an extension of 230kV one-and-half bus bar system. It also includes the construction of bus bars, transformer bay, shunt reactor bays and upgrading the existing Awash 7 kilo substation by a new 230kV substation.

The third lot includes the Alamata – Mehoni – Mekele high voltage transmission line which will be constructed between Alamata substation, Mehoni (new substation) and Mekele substation. The existing Alamata substation will be upgraded with 2 outgoing line bays. The Mehoni substation will be newly constructed.

The fourth lot includes the Metu-Gambela transmission line which is located in the regional states of Oromiya and Gambela. The transmission line will be constructed from Metu by upgrade of the substation to new Gambela II substation and this substation will be connected to the existing Gambela I 66/15kV substation.

KEC International Limited was appointed as EPC contractor for the first lot, EnergoInvest as EPC contractor for the second lot, Kalpataru Power Transmission Ltd as EPC contractor for the third lot and SAE - Gammon as EPC contractor for the fourth lot of the project.

CYMI S.A was appointed as EPC contractor for the first lot substation, Alstom Grid as EPC contractor for the second lot Substation and ABB AG as EPC contractor for the third lot substation of the project.

The funding for the project is being provided by African Development Bank (AFDB).

In December 2015, construction works on fourth lot completed.

In August 2017, Construction works on second and third lots were completed.

Construction works are underway on the other lots.
