The project comprised two separate schemes: a 32.5 MW plant on the Jiji River and a 17MW plant on the Mulembwe River, located approximately 3.5 km apart. Each scheme included a small dam with a desilting structure, followed by a low pressure pipeline, a 1.1km transfer tunnel, and a 500m penstock conveying water to a powerhouse housing three horizontal Pelton turbines. Zutari developed the full design, including key infrastructure such as the dam, tunnel, powerhouse, and access roads.

The scope also included the design of a construction camp with 28 permanent houses and facilities such as a clinic, canteen, and administrative block. In addition, Zutari produced detailed design and construction drawings and provided support during commissioning and testing of both plants.
