Project Description

The MCDF grant funds a full feasibility study on the development of a 400 kilovolt (kV) interconnector facility that can transfer solar and wind-generated electricity between Isang, Botswana, near the country’s capital, Gaborone, and Mahikeng in northwest South Africa. The study will consist of technical, financial, legal, institutional, operational, and commercial due diligence for the project.

Alignment with MCDF Core Values

The grant will help ensure that the Botswana – South Africa Interconnector project is prepared in line with International Financial Institution (IFI) standards for financing by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and partners. The project aims to boost electricity grid integration and trade among host countries and across the wider region.
