| Project Detail |
The project, which expected to be completed by the end of 2021, aims at evacuating the energy that is expected to be produced from the under-construction and planned power plants in the city of Khartoum and its suburbs, absorbing the energy that will be imported from the Ethiopian grid, and reducing the losses and bottlenecks in the Sudanese transmission network. This will be accomplished through the construction of a 500 kV transmission ring around the city. The project includes the following main components: Substations. Transmission Line. Modernization of the National Control Center. Technical Services. The loan will carry interest at 2.0% per annum and will be repayable over 30 years, including a 7 year grace period. The Sudanese Electricity Transmission Company (SETCO) will be the beneficiary of the loan and will be responsible for implementing the project. |
