electrification, electric power linkage
Explanation:
It is not entirely clear what they mean. If the projects involve extending electric power to new areas (such as rural or other remote areas), the term would be "electrification."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrification

If, on the other hand, they mean connecting an existing power network (such as a local one) with another (possibly larger, more powerful) network, then I would recommend "electric power linkage":
