The Dakar 90kV power transmission project undertaken by the China Machinery Engineering Corp (CMEC) was completed smoothly on April 29. The State Electric Power Corporation of Senegal issued a “final acceptance” certificate to CMEC, marking the ending of CMEC’s contractual obligations.

The Dakar 90kV power transmission project included laying 27-kilometers of 90kV buried cables surrounding the downtown areas of Dakar, and building 4 90kV GIS fully automated and unattended substations.

The successful fulfillment of the project has greatly improved the stability and reliability of power in Dakar, capital of Senegal, and has contributed to the economic development and living standards of the local people. It has also laid a good foundation for CMEC to further develop the power market in western Africa.
