Vinci Energies’ Omexom subsidiary has won a contract from Senelec to install five new extra-high-voltage (EHV) transformer stations, nearly 200km of overhead and underground EHV transmission lines, over 100 distribution substations in various parts of the country, and a regional load dispatch centre. The project is part of Senelec’s transmission and distribution grid expansion, reinforcement and reliability enhancement programme (the 2016-2020 Strategic Plan). The €197m ($232m) project will take 36 months to complete and involves the cities of Dakar, Diass, Diamniadio, Thiès, Kounoune, Tobène and Tambacounda.
