Powering Africa: Inside Breeztek’s Electrical Infrastructure Projects

Across Africa, demand for reliable electricity is growing. As cities expand, industries develop, and digital infrastructure evolves, energy has become the foundation of national development. But building and maintaining power systems in emerging economies takes more than just equipment. It requires deep technical knowledge, local experience, and strong execution.

At Breeztek, we deliver all three. Our electrical infrastructure division plays a key role in powering homes, businesses, and national grids across the continent.

From transmission lines to substations, transformers to switchgear systems, we offer end-to-end electrical engineering solutions. With a proven track record across 12 African countries and more than 160,000 man-hours completed in the past year alone, Breeztek has become a trusted partner for government agencies, utility companies, and large-scale developers.

Power Infrastructure: What We Deliver

Our expertise covers the full spectrum of electrical infrastructure, including:

High Voltage (HV) Systems
We handle the installation and commissioning of high voltage systems that serve as the backbone of national and regional grids. These include overhead and underground transmission lines, substations, and gantry systems designed for efficiency and long-term reliability.

Medium and Low Voltage (MV/LV) Systems
In addition to HV, we design and build distribution systems that carry power safely to businesses and communities. This includes transformer stations, switchgear systems, and smart power management tools.

Substation Engineering
We build new substations and upgrade existing ones to handle growing demand. Our work includes site preparation, civil foundations, equipment installation, control panels, protection systems, and testing.

Transformer Installation and Testing
Breeztek supplies and installs transformers for all voltage classes. Our team ensures accurate alignment, safe oil filling, grounding, and commissioning according to international standards.

Switchgear Solutions
We deliver and install switchgear systems for industrial, commercial, and utility applications. This includes metal-clad, outdoor, and GIS systems built for flexibility and protection.

An Example from the Field: Lemgur Substation, Arusha

One of our most ambitious ongoing projects is the Lemgur 33kV/220kV/400kV substation located in Arusha, Tanzania. The scale and complexity of this project demonstrate Breeztek’s capacity to deliver at a national level.

Working under high safety and technical standards, our team is building out the infrastructure needed to support regional power distribution and future grid expansion. This project not only serves a growing population but also supports the electrification of surrounding rural areas and industrial zones.

What makes this project stand out is not just the size or voltage level. It is the seamless integration of engineering, civil works, and project management handled entirely by Breeztek. Clients do not need to manage multiple vendors. We deliver the full solution.

Why Clients Choose Breeztek for Power Projects

Experience Across Africa
We have successfully completed power infrastructure projects in over a dozen African countries. Our teams understand local regulations, utility requirements, and regional challenges, allowing us to adapt and deliver with confidence.

Skilled Workforce and Equipment
Our engineers, technicians, and project managers are trained to global standards. We also own and operate the necessary lifting, rigging, trenching, and testing equipment to reduce reliance on third-party logistics.

End-to-End Service
We manage everything from design and procurement to construction, installation, and testing. Clients appreciate the simplicity of having one partner who is accountable for results.

HSE-Driven Execution
Health, Safety, and Environment are not just policies at Breeztek. They are active priorities. We consistently record zero lost-time injuries and implement proactive safety training on every site.

Timely Delivery
Power projects are often tied to government programs, funding schedules, or operational deadlines. We understand what is at stake and build our plans to deliver on time, every time.

Solving Africa’s Energy Challenges, One Project at a Time

Many regions across Africa still face power outages, unstable grids, or poor distribution infrastructure. Breeztek contributes to solving these problems by working closely with local governments, private sector players, and development partners.

In rural areas, we extend grid networks through new overhead lines and distribution transformers. In urban centers, we modernize substation systems to improve stability. In industrial corridors, we deliver power solutions that support economic growth and attract new investments.

Each project we take on is not just about construction. It is about impact.

Beyond Engineering: Building for the Future

We see every power project as part of a bigger story. Reliable electricity drives education, business, healthcare, and communication. It helps families cook safely, students study after dark, and clinics store life-saving medicine.

That is why Breeztek is committed not just to technical excellence, but to long-term service. We help clients plan for future growth, ensure systems can be maintained locally, and use technology that supports clean, efficient power.

Where possible, we also work to minimize environmental impact through smart routing, reduced emissions equipment, and better site management practices.
