Mwazimba 33kV line and 800kVA substation

Design, supply and construction of a complete MV connection supporting increased load capacity.

February–June 2025MiningMwazimba, Shinyanga

Project Overview

Extending reliable power to a growing CIP operation

KELM delivered a 3.54km, 33kV overhead line and a new 800kVA 33/0.4kV transformer substation for Nestory Makune's CIP operation. The design increased available capacity and supported reliable operation and future growth.

The project combined line structures, ACSR conductors, switchgear, transformer installation, earthing and lightning protection in one coordinated package.
