The planned Angola-Namibia (ANNA) interconnector is expected to link the Namibian and Angolan electricity networks in the north-western part of Namibia and the southern part of Angola and initially supply power to towns in the southern part of Angola, mainly Xangongo, Cahama and Ondjiva.

This interconnector will also make provision for the integration of the proposed Baynes Hydro Power Station into the NamPower and RNT electricity networks.

Aurecon was responsible for the technical network modelling and preliminary design, with Enerweb undertaking the business case quantification based on detailed market analysis to inform the other elements of the project, e.g. preferred commercial structure, and financial and economic justification.

Detailed Market Analysis (Enerweb). The detailed market analysis was a refinement of the high-level preliminary market analysis based on the BOSA model developed above. The refinement was based on both the high-level analysis in the concept phase and additional insights through analysis of collected data.

The preliminary market analysis was supported by public information and high-level data provided by stakeholders. In this phase the market model was populated with detailed information to be obtained through data collection, interviews with stakeholders and workshops, for example:

The result of the detailed market analysis was used to assess the project viability and was a set of credible scenarios with the following outputs:
