CHAN 2020-CAN 2021: Most of the power supply installations for the sites have been built and operational

Yaounde, 24 January 2020- Eneo has already built and commissioned more than 90% of the installations requested by the public authorities for power supply to sites that will host CHAN 2020 and CAN 2021.
For CHAN 2020, 3 months before the deadline, all the host sites in Douala, Yaoundé and Limbe are fully supplied and ready for the big sporting event!

The Ministry of Sports and Physical Education (MINSEP), prime contractor for the CHAN and CAN projects, requested Eneo to build and provide power supply installations for the selected stadiums in Yaounde, Douala, Bafoussam and Garoua, a total of 22 stadiums and annexes.

The whole project consisted of the construction across 4 regions of more than 47 km of underground network, 36 km of overhead network on metal and concrete poles, 7 supply substations, 15 distribution substations, 1 dispatch station for an installed capacity of 28 MW.

 ‘’ It was quite a huge challenge given the deadlines of 5 months set for the construction of this infrastructure. It was necessary to set up an efficient steering team with experienced and dedicated engineers, spread across all of these regions in order to ensure optimal monitoring of work progress on the sites. The difficulties were daunting, but it was even more challenging to seamlessly emulate and align all the stakeholders involved in the projects’’, Jean Bernard SADEU, Deputy Director of Network Construction at Eneo explained.

In addition, "the option taken to install dedicated power supply facilities on the sites is in line with the decision to set up networks that will not be very prone to breakdowns and will guarantee optimal transmission of power. Their structures will thus facilitate intervention in the event of any incident.” Nicolas Keedi, DEGS Deputy Director of Studies at Eneo explained.

Despite some constraints linked to the progress of road networks and structural works on some sites, Eneo teams have already carried out more than 90% of the works requested by MINSEP. Less than 3 months before the start of the African Nations Championship (April 4 to 25, 2020) and one year from the African Cup of Nations, 9 out of 10 sites already have power supply from Eneo.
