ESCOM system expansion plans

To appreciate the present development of the system as well as the future expansion plans, it is important to have some idea of the location of generation with respect to the main load centres. It is therefore proposed to first broadly outline the system geographically. The map of Fig 1 shows the present EHV system (220 kV and above) and the probable expansion for the next ten years throughout the country. Also shown are the more important power station locations and the main load areas.
