800kVA transformer substation at Mwazimba

Mwazimba 33kV line and 800kVA substation

Design, supply and construction of a complete MV connection supporting increased load capacity.

February–June 2025MiningMwazimba, Shinyanga

Project Overview

Power connection for the Mwazimba CIP plant

KELM delivered a 3.54km, 33kV overhead line and a new 800kVA 33/0.4kV transformer substation for Nestory Makune's CIP operation. The installation connected the processing site through a dedicated transformer substation.

The project combined line structures, ACSR conductors, switchgear, transformer installation, earthing and lightning protection in one coordinated package.
