Planned Interconnection - relates to the Ruzizi IV Hydropower Plant, which will feed into the grids of Burundi-DRC-Rwanda by means of 220 kV lines. However, this does not directly integrate the systems of the involved countries. Except for the reported transmission distance, no additional project info exists as of yet.
