Malekula Transmission Line and Grid Expansion – Vanuatu

The Malekula Transmission Line was awarded as a part of the Vanuatu Brenwe Hydropower Station as there was no infrastructure in place to carry power from the new Brenwe Hydropower station to the existing grid and 9 new villages (populations between 200 and 2500), and MAP were one of the few contractors with the capabilities to complete a quality job.

The project was jointly funded by the Asian Development bank and the Vanuatu government as part of the Vanuatu Energy Access Projects initiative, which aims to increase access to renewable energy on Malekula.
