Cameroon currently has two large interconnected networks: the South Interconnected Network (RIS) and the North Interconnected Network (RIN). The RIS serves the southern part with electricity, ie six administrative regions, notably the Center, the Littoral, the South, the South-West, the West and the North-West. The RIN serves the northern part, namely three administrative regions: Adamaoua, the Far North and the North.
Electricity is transported at three voltage levels:
- 225 kV only in the RIS;
- 110 kV in the RIN;
- 90 kV in the RIS and the RIN.
In 2013, the line lengths in accordance with the different voltage levels above were quantified as presented in Table 3 below:

Line type Estimated linear (Km) Line 225 KV 720,79 Line 110 KV 356,67 Line 90 KV 1 159,81
The RIS and RIN configurations are shown in the figures below.
