Project Overview

The Mont Kigali Power Substation upgrade includes enhancements to the 110kV transmission line and the 30kV and 15kV distribution lines. This initiative aims to improve the capacity and reliability of power distribution in the region.

Key Upgrades

  • Transformer Replacement: The substation was upgraded with two new 20MVA transformers, replacing the old 10MVA transformers.
  • Increased Capacity: The new transformers provide increased capacity to handle peak demand, reducing the likelihood of power outages.
  • Improved Reliability:The upgrade ensures that the substation can cope with increased demand during peak hours, enhancing overall reliability

Impact on Power Supply

The replacement of the transformers significantly mitigates the risk of outages that previously occurred due to insufficient capacity. This upgrade is crucial for supporting the growing energy needs of the region.

Conclusion

The Mont Kigali Power Substation upgrade represents a vital step in modernizing the power infrastructure, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply for the community. The implementation of new transformers not only addresses current demands but also positions the substation for future growth.
