Addressing the media recently, the Corporation’s chief executive officer (CEO) Dr. Stefan Schwarzfischer said the construction of the North West Transmission Grid (NWTG) would play an economic role in exporting power from Botswana to the SADC region through Southern African Power Pool market.
“The completion of the project will open opportunity to reduce dependency on power imports from Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia as we shall have our own infrastructure to meet the local demand for electricity,” Schwarzfischer said at the signing ceremony between BPC and the contractors.
