Begleitmaßnahme zu Übertragungsleitung Ruanda - Burundi (AM) Transmission line Rwanda - Burundi Die Region der Großen Seen wird in ihrer sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung unter anderem von einer unzureichenden Stromversorgung und hohen Erzeugungskosten behindert. Gleichzeitig bieten gemeinsame Energieressourcen in der Region erhebliche Potentiale. Durch die Schaffung eines regionalen Stromverbundnetzes sowie eine gemeinsame Nutzbarmachung der Energieressourcen soll diesen Entwicklungshemmnissen begegnet werden. Es soll so Stromhandel ermöglicht und ein ausreichend großer Markt erschlossen werden, um Investitionen in die regionalen Erzeugungspotentiale zu fördern. In diesem Kontext hat die NBI (Nile Basin Initiative) über NELSAP (Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Program) ein umfangreiches Programm zum Bau regionaler Übertragungsleitungen unter anderem zwischen Ruanda, Burundi und der Demokratischen Republik Kongo (DRK) vorbereitet, das von der FZ unterstützt wird. Die beschriebenen Module stehen in direktem Zusammenhang zueinander. Gemeinsam sollen die Vorhaben einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Energieversorgung in der Region der Großen Seen leisten. Dabei sind die einzelnen Komponenten wechselseitigvoneinander abhängig: Das Design des regionalen Übertragungsnetzes beruht auf einer mittelfristigen Lastprognose und berücksichtigt die geplanten und sich in Umsetzung befindlichen Erzeugungsprojekte. Die Einführung der 220 kV Spannungsebene erhöht nicht nur die Übertragungsleistung und beseitigt langfristig Netzengpässe, sondern ermöglicht perspektivisch auch eine verlustärmere Übertragung des Stroms von den bestehenden und neuen Kraftwerken (vornehmlich Wasserkraft) in die Lastzentren. Letzteres katalysiert (privatwirtschaftliche) Investitionen in die Erzeugungskapazitäten und fördert indirekt die Entwicklung in den übrigen Sektoren der Wirtschaft.

The aim is to enable electricity trading and to open up a sufficiently large market in order to market to promote investment in regional generation potential. In this context, the NBI (Nile Basin Initiative) has prepared a comprehensive programme through NELSAP (Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Program) for the construction of regional transmission lines between Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), among others, which is supported by FC. The modules described are directly interrelated. Together, the projects are intended to contribute to improving the energy supply in the Great Lakes region. The individual components are mutuallyinterdependent: The design of the regional transmission grid is based on a medium-term load forecast and takes into account the planned generation projects and those currently being implemented. being implemented. The introduction of the 220 kV voltage level not only increases transmission capacity and eliminates grid bottlenecks in the long term, but also enables also enables lower-loss transmission of electricity from the existing and new power plants new power plants (primarily hydropower) to the load centres. The latter catalyses (private-sector) investment in generation capacities and indirectly promotes the development of the other development in the other sectors of the economy.
