Transformer Replacement Program Activity. This Activity aims to address grid reliability and electricity quality in light of growing electricity demand resulting from increased access and Senegal’s strong economic growth. Specifically, the Activity includes support for an existing transformer replacement initiative on the high- and medium-voltage networks by upgrading or replacing critical transformers at Touba, Diass, Hann, and Aeroport substations. In conjunction with investments under the Transmission Network Build-out Activity, these upgraded or replaced transformers are intended to strengthen Senegal’s transmission network to facilitate further extension of the interconnected electrical grid under the Access Project, as well as future grid extension investments by the Government or others.
