The Eastern Africa Regional Transmission Planning Partnership (EATP) was established in 2014 to foster regional cooperation in transmission planning and analysis. The EATP project (including Ethiopia, Burundi, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda) is a capacity building program, providing assistance to the EAPP and its members to establish sustainable regional electric power transmission planning capacity. The EATP will develop regional network planning models, beginning with a load flow model for East Africa, progressing to dynamic models over time. The members of the EATP Working Group will be trained to prepare each of the models, expanding the pool of qualified network planners in East Africa to continuously fine tune the regional planning model.

The scope of the project includes the following tasks:

  • Selection of Model Forecasting Year for East Africa Regional Load Flow Planning Model and EATP Data Questionnaire
  • Develop EATP Member System Planning Profiles
  • Develop East Africa Regional Load Flow Planning Model
  • Conduct Eastern Africa Regional Load Flow Analysis
  • Submit PSS/E Load Flow Training (basic and advanced).

Type of services provided:

  • Data collection and analyses
  • Regional model development
  • Load flow analyses
  • Network security assessment
  • Conduction of trainings
