(Business in Cameroon) - On 23 January 2017, the Cameroonian government launched the operation to compensation the populations affected by the project for the construction of a high voltage power line to transport electricity between the Lom Pangar dam and the town of Bertoua, in the Eastern region.
Numbering over 500 and coming from 17 villages in this forest region of Cameroon, these people, whose properties will be destroyed as part of this project, will receive a total of FCfa 253 million.

As a reminder, the Lom Pangar hydroelectric development, which enabled Cameroon to get its biggest dam, includes the construction of an adjoining plant with a capacity of 30 MW. The energy produced on this site will help provide electricity to 150 villages. It will be transported by a line to be built over approximately 105 km, between the site of the dam and the town of Bertoua, the regional capital of Eastern-Cameroon.
