Our focus / Electricity infrastructure
From network need
to project delivery.
We pursue defined development, supply and delivery roles across new transmission infrastructure and upgrades to existing networks. Regional interconnection opportunities are assessed against country requirements and project readiness.
Substations & grid reinforcement
New substations, transformer capacity, switchgear, protection and control systems, and upgrades that improve network capacity and reliability.
Independent transmission & PPPs
Project origination and local development partnerships for privately financed transmission infrastructure, including concession and transmission services opportunities.
Monitoring & asset reliability
Metering, communications, remote monitoring and maintenance planning, with inspection and asset integrity coordinated through Honest Inspection Services and qualified electrical specialists.
Development partnerships
A local partner.
A coordinated approach.
Smart Grid seeks participation in Independent Power Transmission projects, public-private partnerships and concession opportunities through the applicable procurement and regulatory processes. Each opportunity starts with a defined network requirement and an agreed development role.
Identify & assess
Review network needs, generation connections and industrial demand with utilities, project sponsors and technical partners.
Develop & structure
Coordinate feasibility, grid studies, environmental and social assessments, wayleave planning and the proposed delivery model.
Partner & finance
Build an experienced consortium and assess project costs, transmission services terms, payment security and financing requirements.
Deliver & sustain
Plan procurement, construction, commissioning and long-term asset support with qualified contractors and specialist service partners.
Projects advance subject to feasibility, procurement, regulatory licensing, environmental and social approvals, land and wayleave arrangements, signed agreements and financing. Uganda's Electricity (Independent Power Transmission) Regulations, 2023 form part of the investment framework. View ERA's regulatory instruments
