1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1. Beneficiary Country and Promoter The beneficiary countries are the Republics of Namibia and Angola. The Project is being sponsored by RNT the Transmission Company of Angola and NamPower of Namibia., the ‘Sponsors’). The project is being coordinated by the Southern African Power Pool Coordination Centre (“SAPP CC”).

1.2.

Contracting Authority

The Contracting Authority is the SAPP CC. The support funds, administered by the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), have been sourced from the Infrastructure Investment Programme for South Africa (IIPSA) and Project Preparation and Development Fund (PPDF) and the Government of Norway and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

1.3.

Relevant Sector Background

The Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) was created in April 1995 through the Southern African Development Community (SADC) treaty to optimize the use of available energy resources amongst the countries in the region and support one another during energy emergencies. There are four legal documents covering the rights and obligations of SAPP Members: Inter-Governmental Memorandum of Understanding (IGMOU); Inter-Utility Memorandum of Understanding (IUMOU); Agreement between Operating Members (ABOM); and Operating Guidelines (OG). Southern Africa has experienced a period of unprecedented growth in the utilization of electricity in the last 10 years largely as a result of the boom in prices of natural resources. The Region had enjoyed a long period of excess generation capacity and abundance of transmission facilities to evacuate power from the generation facilities to the customers. Since 2007, the Region has run out of excess generation capacity and many Regional transmission lines are now congested. There is now a realization among all the ‘SAPP’ member utilities to cooperate in developing new generation and transmission facilities primarily to increase the efficient utilization of the sustainable sources of energy that exist throughout Southern Africa, a key requirement in bringing development to the people of the Region.

2. OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED RESULTS

2.1.

Objectives of the Underlying Project

Namibia Power Corporation (Pty) Ltd (NamPower), Rede Nacional de Transporte de Electricidade (RNT) and the Southern African Power Pool Coordination Centre (SAPP CC) embarked upon investigating the interconnection of Angola and Namibia Systems and their impact on the regional networks, together with the Baynes hydropower integration. The planned interconnector, referred to as Angola-Namibia (ANNA) Transmission Interconnector, is expected to link the Namibian and Angolan electricity networks in the north western part of Namibia and the southern part of Angola and initially supplying power to towns in the southern part of Angola mainly Xangongo, Cahama and Ondjiva. This interconnector will also make provision for the integration of the proposed Baynes Hydro Power Station into the NamPower and RNT electricity networks. The Project is code named “ANNA” meaning the interconnection between Angola and Namibia. The objective of the Interconnector project is to: a. Interconnect the Angolan and Namibian power systems b. Complement other regional initiative supply initiatives by increasing the power transfers within the SAPP network, c. Increase stability in the power pool through additional interconnection between the strong versus weak networks, which has been a source of SAPP grid instability, d. Improve system control, adequacy and reliability of power supply, e. Deepen regional integration that will facilitate improved electricity trading, f. Provide redundancy for the SAPP fibre network.

The scope of work for the Angola - Namibia Transmission Interconnector (ANNA interconnector) is as follows: The Transmission Interconnector, is expected to link the Namibian and Angolan electricity networks in the north western part of Namibia and the southern part of Angola and initially supplying power to towns in the southern part of Angola mainly Xangongo, Cahama and Ondjiva. This interconnector will also make provision for the integration of the proposed Baynes Hydro Power Station into the NamPower and RNT electricity networks.

SAPP CC shall provide the Transaction Advisor (TA) with the latest updated models of the With funding by the European Union, Government of Norway and Sida

Page 6

other SAPP countries. Following receipt of the models, the TA should review the case files and modify the data to reflect the any changes that will be identified during the review of the data collection. The TA will conduct the studies utilizing a power systems analysis software suite. The TA should advise which software will be used for the load flow and dynamic studies, which should be compatible with the utilities in-house software for operation. The TA will reconfigure the baseline model to take into account any changes in assumptions related to the base/starting year of the studies which may require changes in the model in respect of: • • • •

Loading levels; Generation pattern (taking into account new generation projects); New transmission projects including the new RNT-NamPower interconnector; and Power wheeling requirements determined by the economic study.

The TA will also prepare additional network models at 5 year intervals to cover the planning horizon as stated in the studies. d. Existing network evaluation Assess the current state of the network in terms of the following; • • • • •

How reliable (security and adequacy) are the networks of the individual states? Should anything be done to the existing network to make them more reliable? What is the current network transfer limit? What is the steady-state power transfer constraint? What is the transient/dynamic power system constraint?

e. Proposed network evaluation

Assess the future state of the network in terms of the following; • • • • •

How reliable (security and adequacy) will the networks of the individual states be? Should anything be done to the network to make it more reliable? Which areas may have steady-state power transfer constraints? Which areas may have transient/dynamic power system constraints? With the future expected/planned generation sources in the SADC region, how can the network be optimally designed to facilitate SAPP’s main objective? SAPP’s objective is to optimize the use of available energy resources in the region (SADC) and for members to support one another during emergencies including increased electricity trading amongst Member States.

Steady state studies

Based on the revised/reconfigured models, the TA should conduct steady state studies to determine the steady state limits resulting from the new Angola and Namibia (ANNA) interconnector project for the base year and for the 5 year intervals comprising the planning horizon of the study. The TA should evaluate the steady state limits in respect of thermal constraints under system healthy and N -1 contingency conditions. The steady state transfer limits will be conducted for the range of contingencies agreed with the two utilities for the worst case loading conditions and the worst case generation patterns. The steady state studies should entail assessment of the following: Assess technical performance of the new Angola and Namibia (ANNA) interconnector Project TA should review the new Angola - Namibia (ANNA) interconnector project in respect of the technical performance measures such as: • • •

Impact on the steady state transfer capacity (N-0) and (N-1); Impact on voltage performance; and Effect on losses.

g. Assess Interconnector wheeling capacity

The TA should establish the network wheeling capacity with the proposed new Angola Namibia (ANNA) interconnector in place. The TA should also determine whether additional network capacity to allow for wheeling on top of the base case load requirements will be available. h. Assess impact on SAPP Grid

The TA should assess the impact of the new Angola - Namibia (ANNA) interconnector Project on the SAPP grids by considering the worst case contingencies on the SAPP system with the proposed wheeling arrangements across the project to the Eskom and BPC systems.

With funding by the European Union, Government of Norway and Sida

Fault level studies

Three phase fault level studies (RMS and Asymmetrical Peak) should be conducted according to the IEC 60909 standard to determine the expected fault level rating of the impacted substations in SAPP network. j.

Transient stability studies

Transient stability studies should be performed for the worst case scenarios identified under the steady state studies. This should be done for the base year and for the 5 yearly intervals comprising the planning horizon of the study. The transient stability studies will establish if the SAPP interconnected system remains synchronously stable with fault duration of 100 ms with subsequent line tripping on the new Angola - Namibia(ANNA) interconnector. k. Frequency stability studies

Frequency studies should be conducted for the worst case scenarios identified under the steady state studies. These results will give an indication of the expected frequency variations on the SAPP network for loss of key interconnectors between Eskom, BPC, RNT, NamPower, ZESA and ZESCO. It will also indicate the additional required reserves that affected SAPP utilities must carry in order to comply with the SAPP frequency control requirements. l.

Sensitivity analysis

Sensitivity analysis should be performed to cater for a variety of the most credible contingencies that should include but not limited to the loss of the largest generator in the RNT, NamPower and Eskom systems. The loss of transmission circuits/equipment should be considered. m. Selection of technically preferred solution

On the basis of the transmission and generation dispatch studies, the TA will identify a technically preferred solution which meets the key objectives of the new Angola - Namibia (ANNA) interconnector Project. The preferred solution will identify the principal components for the new Angola - Namibia (ANNA) interconnector scheme, identifying the preferred route and the required capacity ratings. The selection of the technically preferred With funding by the European Union, Government of Norway and Sida

Page 9

route will be based on the technically feasible option, the high-level indicative cost estimates, cost of losses and displaced generation costs. The technically preferred solution will be the solution used for the preliminary design and for which the project structuring and funding arrangements will be developed. n. Cost estimation

The TA should prepare estimates of the capital costs of the infrastructure comprising the preferred solution for the new Angola - Namibia (ANNA) interconnector project. The cost estimates will be based on bills of quantities derived from the substation layouts, single line diagrams and configurations. The level of detail of the bills of quantities will be selected by the TA so as to be consistent with obtaining a feasibility level cost estimate. Uncertainty in the cost estimates should be dealt with as part of the sensitivity analysis of the financial analysis. The unit costs should be based on information to be provided by the relevant utilities and the TA own databases of costs. The costs should be provided at an agreed reference date and in a single currency. The costs should include equipment, transport, materials and installation costs and should be provided separately for Angola and Namibia. The cost estimates should be used for purposes of establishing the viability of the project and for determining the indicative wheeling costs. Preliminary cost estimates for environmental mitigation and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) needs to be included. o. Project viability analysis

As part of the project viability analysis, the TA should provide a financial analysis and a cost/benefit analysis on the project to assess the viability of the project from the perspective of the potential off-taker i.e. assess whether the project presents a net benefit to the off-taker. p. Planning Criteria All technical limits will be as per the Grid Codes of the utilities – Network Code. The SAPP Transmission Planning Criteria should be adhered to. 2.3.2. The Environmental Specialist / Firm will produce the following reports: i.

An Overall Summary Document: Environmental and Social Impact Report and Management Plan undertaken as per IFC / DBSA Environmental Framework standards and requirements. This report should include all items listed below and ensures all IFC/DBSA requirements are met.
