Rwanda HV Transmission Lines

Studio Pietrangeli has developed a feasibility, detailed design, and tender documents of the works in respect to the basic studies such as load demand forecast, geographical and environmental constraints, macroeconomic indicators demonstrating the project’s viability through a comprehensive economic and financial assessment as well as risk analysis.

As the lines of the project cross predominantly rural areas with scattered settlements, a straight route  was preferred wherever possible to avoid some main constraints of the environmental type, urban aggregates and townships (identified  by previous studies and then verified during the surveys carried out in 2020) and reducing costs. Line routes should avoid critical paths such as crossing natural reserves as much as possible, be as short as feasible and minimize angle deviations and HV line crossings.
