Overview

The Mekele-Dallol & Semera-Afdera Power Transmission Supply for Industrial Development and Access Scale-up Project (MSPIAP) is an integrated project and includes transmission lines, substation & rural electrification components. This project aims to improve the socio-economic development and livelihood of the population of beneficiary regions through increased access to affordable & sustainable electricity supply and improvement in service delivery. The two 230kV transmission lines are extended from existing 230 kV substations. The proposed new transmission lines will considerably expand the high voltage transmission system and increase the power transfer capacity from the existing and future generating sources to the major load centers in the country. The project will end in 2019.
