Tanzania receives $455m for transmission infrastructure20 Oct 2020 18:37
The Mozambique-Malawi Transmission Interconnector (Malawi section) is the SAPP and not directly (although eventually it will be) related to the MCPP, the EAPP.
There are five African Power Pools, Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), (Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP), Central African Power Pool (CAPP), West African Power Pool (WAPP) and North African Power Pool (NAPP).
Initially the MCPP would be supplying power to the EAPP Grid.

Every single Mining Tender in the alluded to previous process in Tanzania was nullified by the TGov/Tanesco. Soon severe (imho) pressure will be put on the TGov/Tanesco as the Interconnecter closes, and now with the added pressure after the signing of the new ADF Agreement, plus The Bank of Africa plus The World Bank.

“The agreements signed on June 29, 2020 between the French Development Agency (AFD) and the Tanzanian government concern three concessional loans for a total amount of 230 million euros. This financing is earmarked for the implementation of several electricity and water projects in Tanzania”
“The project will enable the construction of a 400 kV transmission line and substations from Iringa to Sumbawanga via Mbeya and Tunduma and the Tunduma interconnection line in Tanzania’s Songwe region to the border with Zambia”
