Papua New Guinea: Kimbe-Biala Tranmission Line

Abstract

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has supported the Government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the PNG Power Limited to construct a 150-kilometer high voltage transmission line linking the West New Britain Provincial capital Kimbe and the township of Bialla. The transmission line will connect renewable energy from existing hydropower and biomass facilities and bring electricity to households, schools, and medical clinics along the alignment.
