CAIRO- 29 April 2022: The devices of electrical linkage between Sudan and Egypt arrived this week at Port Sudan, announced the Egyptian Embassy in Khartoum on Friday.
The Sudanese Ministry of Electricity has transferred these devices from Port Sudan to the northern region to start works that enable Sudan to raise the capacity of the electrical interconnection power from 70 megawatts to 300 megawatts, and then to 1000 megawatts.
In February 2022, the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company, headed by Eng. Sabah Mashali, began developing and raising the capacity of the first phase of the electrical interconnection line between Egypt and Sudan from 80 MW to 300 MW, at a cost of L.E. 453 million.
The developing works are conducted through the use of the latest devices and modern technologies that enable the service to reach Sudan with the highest quality.
It is expected that the line will be operating at its full capacity in October 2022 with a capacity of 300 megawatts.
The capacity of the electrical linkage between Egypt and Sudan was raised to 300 megawatts per a contract signed between both countries in March 2021.
