In this project, we focused on an outline of policy, legal, and institutional framework governing the energy sector with specific focus on power transmission. The scope of this work was to conduct an exhaustive stakeholder consultation; establishing details of significant environmental and social impacts associated with construction, operation, decommissioning, and post-decommissioning of the project.
