is engaged in major projects include Algeria, Kenya, Angola, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Morocco and Mozambique.
Kenya Kenya is the site for one of Isolux Corsán’s largest projects in Africa. T e Spanish group is to build the longest power transmission line in the country; a 428km, 400Kv line with a capex of €142 million. T is project will carry the electricity generated by the largest wind farm in Africa (on the south of Lake Turkana) to the capital, Nairobi.
Angola Isolux Corsán has rolled out a large number of power generation, transmission and distribution projects in Angola. T e company cooperates actively in implementing the
government’s plan to expand the population’s access to the electricity grid. It has completed the rural electrifi cation of Malange, with a total of 133km of grid (54 per cent underground) and the Sumbe-Porto Amboin and Lucala-Uige transmission lines (200kv). Isolux Corsán has also built Angola’s fi rst
400kv transmission line from the Capanda dam to the capital, Luanda, and the distribution line to the Cabinda Stadium, where several of the Africa Cup of Nations games were played. Last year, Isolux Corsán handed over a fl oating open-cycle (96Mw) electrical power station with two gas turbines, to the government of Angola. It is also nearing completion of another 70Mw generating plant in Cabinda.
Gabon Isolux Corsán builds the infrastructure necessary to distribute electricity to over 10,000 inhabitants of 33 rural villages in the north west of the country, in the provinces of Estuaire and Moyen-Ogooué, with an investment of almost €50 million.
Mozambique T e Group has been awarded several rural electrifi cation projects that will benefi t more than 40,000 people.
Algeria Isolux Corsán is engaged in one of its most important projects in Africa in Algeria: the
Oran tram. T is 18.7km infrastructure will connect Algiers airport with the university. T e company is engaged in other environmental projects in Algeria, such as the pipelines for the Mostaganem desalination plant, the El Bayad water treatment plant and the pipelines for the Mactaa water treatment plant.
Equatorial Guinea Isolux Corsán has been cooperating with this country for over 30 years. It has recently installed a medium-voltage rural electrifi cation grid and a power station has been built in Bata, the country’s second largest city.
Morocco T e company has several rural electrifi cation projects and electricity sub-stations in Morocco, worth €50 million.
Isolux Corsán’s future challenges in Africa include planning new power transmission lines in Tanzania, Ethiopia and Nigeria. For this, it will capitalise on its long- standing experience, both in Africa and in America (it has over 3,800 kilometres of transmission and distribution lines in Brazil and the USA). It will also be focusing on new infrastructure construction projects – a key activity for Isolux Corsán, which currently has 1,700km of toll roads in Brazil, Mexico and Spain.
