6.2 EAST GRID<br />
The East Grid consists of four CLNs namely, Ladysmith, Newcastle, Empangeni and Pinetown. The current transmission<br />
network and CLNs are shown in Figure 6.3 below.<br />
Figure 6.3: Current East Grid network and CLNs<br />
The expected area peak demands by <strong>2011</strong>, 2015 and <strong>2020</strong> and the average percentage load increase for the period<br />
for each CLN are given in Table 6 3 below.<br />

The TDP scheme projects for the East Grid consist primarily of the strengthening of the 400kV networks that<br />
transmits power into Empangeni and Pinetown CLNs and the introduction of 765kV. In addition to the above<br />
TDP scheme projects, there are other projects that are listed in the project summary list which are required to<br />
strengthen the network.
