The developmental objective of this WAPP APL 1 (CTB Phase 2) Project of the Coastal Transmission Backbone Sub-Program (WAPP APL 1) is to assure more stable and reliable exchange of electricity between the national power systems of the WAPP Zone A Coastal States. Outcomes The expected outcomes include: 1. Increasing cross-border electricity trade between WAPP "Zone A" Coastal States; 2. Reductions in power transfer losses in the principal transmission networks of the WAPP "Zone A" coastal states; 3. More cost efficient coverage of peak power demand through economy power exchanges between WAPP "Zone A" coastal states. The WAPP APL 1 project would be considered successful if it provides ample capacity for unconstrained cross-border electricity trade between the five ECOWAS Member States for up to at least 2020.

However, disbursements have accelerated on the Ghana components. An extension of the closing date of both of the IDA Credits looks unavoidable. Public Disclosure Copy Physical Progress of Construction: Benin Components Transmission Infrastructure Development: Progress on the Togo portion of the 330 kV transmission line (not WB-funded) is slow. Tendering is unlikely to begin before March 2012, so completion of works is forecast for mid/late 2014. IDA is only financing the supervision of the transmission line, so is tied to the pace of physical works. The selection process for the much-delayed engineering supervision consultant will begin in Q2 of CY12 to mesh with the construction timetable. Upgrade of System Control Centers/SCADA, The Contract was awarded in October 2011 and signature is imminent. Ghana Components: Transmission Infrastructure Development: The expansion of Asiepke substation is expected to be completed by mid-2012. The rehabilitation of cranes and penstocks at Akosombo are in progress and should be completed by Q2 of CY2012. Upgrade of the SCADA system is proceeding well and completion is expected in Q2 of CY12. However, there is about $10m of unallocated funds to be reallocated to new components, following the decision to remove the Accra 3rd BSP from the scope of the project.
