330 kV Ghana – Togo – Benin Transmission Interconnection Project

The 330 kV Ghana – Togo - Benin Interconnection Project is part of the WAPP Coastal Transmission Backbone which aims at establishing a robust interconnection link and corridor for power exchanges among Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin/Togo and Nigeria. The project involves the construction of approximately 350 km of 330 kV transmission line from Tema Swithching Station in Ghana (Volta) over a distance of 140 km to the Ghana /Togo Border (Lome “C”) and 98 km of 330 kV line from Lome “C” to the Togo/Benin Border and from there an 110 km 330 kV line to the Sakete Substation in Benin. It also comprises the extension of the 330 kV switching substation in Tema, Ghana, construction of 330/161/20 kV substation in Lome “C”, Togo and the extension of the 330 kV substation at Sakete in Benin.
