Rehabilitation Programme in Electricity Transmission II

The Rehabilitation Programme in Electricity Transmission II is the second phase of the investment programme completed in 2000, Rehabilitation Programme in Electricity Transmission I. While Phase I concentrated particularly on the rehabilitation of installations in the medium to low voltage range, Phase II aimed at the urgently needed renewal of switchgears in the highvoltage range. The programme executing agency was Azerenerji JSC, the vertically integrated monopolist in the Azeri power sector. The rehabilitation of transformer substations was to make a contribution to improving the stability and reliability of power transmission, particularly around the capital Baku and on the Absheron Peninsula, that is, the main load centre in Azerbaijan. The investment measure was embedded in a sectoral dialogue with the government conducted by KfW in close consultation with other donors.
