NewFields
Ndiza/Ruo 15 MW Hydro Power Station RMU & Accessories.
Complete MV scope for station—including switchgear, overhead lines, SCADA and protection systems.
The Challenge
Regulatory approval
As an early IPP project in Malawi, required Eskom sign-off on switchgear, SCADA, and line designs.
Late design change
Eskom mandated a switch to steel-pole construction mid-program, requiring rapid design adaptation.
First-of-its-Kind Build
Needed to deliver Malawi’s inaugural steel-pole 33 kV line within tight project timelines.
The Solution
Fast-tracked Eskom approval process for equipment and SCADA designs.
Quickly adapted infrastructure design to accommodate steel-pole overhead lines.
Delivered the first operational steel 33 kV line in Malawi within schedule.
