Ethiopia-Sudan interconnector project
Name and location
Ethiopia-Sudan interconnector project.
Project description
The project involves the construction of a high-voltage transmission line from Ethiopia to Sudan to use surplus hydropower from Ethiopia, to replace oil-based thermal generation in Sudan and allow power trading between the two countries. The project will entail the construction of a transmission connection between the Ethiopian towns of Bahir-Dar and Metema, and up to the Ethiopia/Sudan border, including substation expansion and rehabilitation, thereby linking the Ethiopian system to Sudan's grid, which is being extended parallel to the border; and the strengthening of the Ethiopian Electric Corporation's (EEPCo's) institutional capacity to promote and implement regional power integration.
Value
