VINCI to build electrical infrastructure
in Senegal
- 1,350 km of transmission lines and
8 very-high-voltage transformer stations
- Three years of works
- A €200 million contract
VINCI Energies and Senelec have signed a €200
million contract to build an array of electricity transmission and
distribution infrastructure. French authorities will contribute to
the project's financing.
The works will last three years and employ a
total of more than 1,000 people. They involve building
1,350 km of high-voltage and very-high-voltage overhead and
underground transmission lines to connect several thousand homes.
They also involve building eight very-high-voltage transformer
stations. The grid management system will moreover be enhanced, for
example with the addition of an interface to remotely manage
operations and detect defects in the overhead and underground power
lines.
The local teams will receive training and
know-how, with support from VINCI Energies’ French and Moroccan
subsidiaries.
This project is part of a wider programme to
expand Senegal's transmission and distribution grid, with a view to
efficiently and sustainably strengthening the country's energy
capacity by 2026 and to move towards universal access to
electricity.
