Executive Summary This Resettlement Policy Framework (RPF) is a mitigation tool for the proposed Nigeria Electricity Transmission Project (NETAP). The RPF will help address and mitigate the effects of relocation of populations as a result of the implementation of NETAP; which are mainly loss of assets, income, or revenue. NETAP will, most likely, trigger the Bank’s Policy on resettlement (OP 4.12, Involuntary Resettlement) when dealing with people who have encroached on the Right of Way (ROW) for the transmission lines to be rehabilitated under NETAP. The proposed NETAP will also finance specific programs to increase quantity, quality and access to the electricity network, particularly in the Northern part of the country where economic activities have long suffered from lack of affordable energy supply. Finally, the proposed NETAP will also provide targeted technical assistance and capacity building support for the FGN agencies that are to support the implementation of the Project. Project Components 1. Component 1: Transmission Network Strengthening and Improvement (IDA US$444 million including contingency). This component has four subcomponents: (i) the upgrading and rehabilitation of up to 47 existing substations – of these, approximately 11 require the replacement of transformers, while the others require the addition (and not the replacement) of transformers, and addition and replacement of protection and control systems, switchgear and associated equipment; (ii) replacement of conductor on up to thirteen 132 kV transmission lines and conversion of up to two 132 kV lines from single circuit to double circuit. The total length of the transmission lines is about 1,270 kilometers; (iii) the upgrading and expansion of the network’s SCADA and telecommunication system and (iv) installation of System Voltage Control (SVC) at Gombe Substation in the North Eastern
