The study compiles baseline environmental and social conditions, reviews the applicable regulatory and institutional framework, and evaluates likely impacts using stakeholder consultation findings. It updates earlier 2017 draft work to reflect 2019 route refinement, decommissioning considerations, cumulative effects, gender-based violence risks, sexual exploitation and abuse, and biological environment aspects, including birds, mammals, bats, and protected areas, and it outlines mitigation and monitoring measures via an ESMP.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nSAPP  \nENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT FOR THE ZAMBIA-TANZANIA POWER INTERCONNECTION PROJECT VOLUME 1 - REPORT  \nZAMBIA  \nWSP REF.: 191-09831-00  \nDATE: JANUARY 22 , 2020  \nEXECUTIVE SUMMARY  \nINTRODUCTION  \nAbundant, diverse energy resources in Southern and Eastern Africa underpin significant potential benefits from regional energy sector integration. The growing need to address national electricity supply and demand imbalances, in the most cost-effective manner, boosted interest in cross-border electricity trade and resulted in the establishment of the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) in 1995, and the Eastern African Power Pool (EAPP) in 2005, under the umbrellas of South African Development Community (SADC) and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), respectively. The objectives ofthe SAPP and EAPP are to coordinate power pool operations and implement regional power trade. Increasing interconnections among the EAPP countries and the link to SAPP will create a large subcontinental market that could pave the way for greater regional integration in other sectors. While there are a few possible corridors for interconnecting SAPP and EAPP, the most advanced one is connecting Zambia-Tanzania-Kenya (also called “ZTK”) . The link between Zambia and Tanzania (or Zambia-Tanzania Interconnection Project, or ZTIP) remains the last section to enable the SAPP and EAPP to be interconnected. Doing so will lead towards market expansion for participating countries, improvement in their energy security, facilitate the diversification of energy sources, enable the sharing of generation reserves, and optimize the cost of electricity supply through trade, both regionally and for participating countries such as Zambia, specifically.  \nZESCO, as an intended implementing agency for the SOP2 Project, has started preparation of the Project and has requested SAPP to provide financial support in finalizing the required analyses and studies from its Program for Advancing Regional Energy Transformational Projects (SAPP AREP Program) . The SAPP AREP Program is a World Bank assisted and financed support provided to the utilities in the SADC region to advance preparation and implementation of the regional priority projects.  \nThe Tanzania-Zambia electrical interconnection Project has evolved considerably since its initiation in late  \n2013. The ZTIP Project involves construction and operation of a single-circuit 330-kV electricity transmission line mounted on steel lattice pylons linking the Nakonde substation with substations in Kasama, Mpika and Pensulo.  \nThe ZTIP Project is planned to add to another ongoing transmission project promoted by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), which will link the Nakonde and Kasama substations. The 330-kV line from the Tanzanian border to Nakonde and the 330/66-kV substation at Nakonde components ofthe ICBC Project are considered associated facilities of the present World Bank funded ZTIP Project because without them, the current ZTIP Project would not be viable.  \nWSP is charged with conducting the ZTIP Project’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP), and Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) and has worked in collaboration with the Consultant in charge of the feasibility study (FS Consultant) . This report presents the outcomes ofthe ESIA on the preferred route option that was selected following an analysis of alternatives that considered technical, social and environmental constraints.  \nThe ESIA is divided in eight main chapters, including the introduction, review of the applicable institutional and legal framework, Project description, analysis of alternatives, baseline environmental and social conditions, potential environmental and social impact assessments, stakeholder consultation activities, and finally, references.  \nOVERALL APPROACH TO THE ASSESSMENT  \nT","cbCainnrcEw8rfdE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainnrcEw8rfdE","pdf",1640653,3,1,12,"English","en",105,"# Executive Summary\n# Introduction\n# Overall Approach to the Assessment\n# Regulatory and Institutional Framework\n# Project Description\n# Analysis of Alternatives\n# Baseline Environmental and Social Conditions\n# Potential Environmental and Social Impact Assessments\n# Stakeholder Consultation Activities\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this ESIA for the ZTIP project?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses the environmental and social impacts of the preferred Zambia–Tanzania interconnection route and supports decision-making through alternatives analysis, baseline studies, and consultation outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What project infrastructure is assessed in Volume 1?\",\"answer\":\"The ZTIP involves constructing and operating a single-circuit 330-kV electricity transmission line linking the Nakonde substation with substations in Kasama, Mpika, and Pensulo, including relevant associated facilities.\"},{\"question\":\"How does this report update earlier drafts?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an update to the 2017 draft, incorporating the 2019 route refinement and additional updates related to decommissioning, cumulative impacts, and risk areas such as gender-based violence and sexual exploitation and abuse.\"}]","Zambia-Tanzania Power Interconnection Project Environmental and Social Impact Assessment -
