Brussels-based Tractebel Engineering has been awarded the consultancy contract for the development of a masterplan for Egypt’s power transmission network.

The masterplan will cover the period from 2008-2030. The client is the Egyptian Electricity Holding Company. A meeting to launch the project will be held in the second half of February.

The project is funded by the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development. Under the $0.8m contract, Tractebel will identify the best long-term plan for the Egyptian electric power system to meet growing power demand.
