Project Description

The MCDF grant funds a full feasibility study on developing a 400 kilovolt (kV) interconnector facility project to enable renewable energy power exchange between Botswana and Zambia. The feasibility study will draw upon an initial pre-feasibility study supported by the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA) and include an environmental impact assessment and resettlement action plans.

Alignment with MCDF Core Values

The grant will help ensure that the Botswana – Zambia Interconnector project is prepared in line with International Financial Institution (IFI) standards for financing by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and partners. The project is a major power transmission initiative aimed at facilitating cross-border electricity trade between Zambia and Botswana, while also contributing to broader regional grid integration.
