PACIFIC Project Brief Energy PAPUA -Biala Transmission Line

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) The project is signifi cantly improving has supported the Government of Papua access to energy for the communities New Guinea (PNG) and the PNG Power along the transmission line, and is Limited to construct a 150-kilometer bringing electricity to over 8,000 high voltage transmission line linking residents for the fi rst time. Additionally. the West Provincial capital 46 school buildings, 4 church buildings, Kimbe and the township of Bialla. The and 2 medical clinics will be electrifi ed. transmission line will connect renewable energy from existing hydropower and Construction commenced in July 2016 biomass facilities and bring electricity to and is scheduled for completion in July households, schools, and medical clinics 2017. The project is supported through along the alignment. ADB-administered Town Electrifi cation Investment Program, a $150 million The project will connect the existing multitranche fi nancing facility program. Lake Hargy hydropower plant near The facility is supporting a range of Bialla with spare capacity (1 megawatt) investments in new and refurbished back to the provincial capital of Kimbe hydropower plants and transmission and to replace expensive diesel-generated distribution powerlines, including: power. The project will also connect a palm oil plantation, which generates • Divune hydropower plant in Oro power from waste biomass Province, (3 megawatts) for sale back to the • Ramazon hydropower plant in the grid. It is estimated that the project Autonomous Region of Bougainville, will replace between 60% and 80% of • Lake Hargy hydropower plant, diesel-generated power in Kimbe with • Warangoi hydropower plant, and clean and reliable renewable energy. • Yonki Toe-of-dam hydropower plant.
