Short Description.
The East African Crude Oil Pipeline Project (EACOP) is a pipeline that will transport oil produced from Uganda’s Lake Albert oilfields to the port of Tanga in Tanzania where the oil will then be sold onwards to world markets. The pipeline is buried and once topsoil and vegetation have been re-instated people and animals will be able to cross freely anywhere along its length.
PSIP will support the Solarization basic engineering phase for the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) project. The PV power plants were eventually located in the following land plots: MCPY 06, MCPY 08, MCPY 10 and, MCPY 11. These locations will be initially used to support the construction of the EACOP Pipeline. The construction of the PV Power Plants will take place once these sites are no longer required, in Q4 2024.
