POWER II-CEWC

closed

The project is aimed at meeting the need for additional generating capacity in the area covered by the Blue Nile Grid (80 percent of the country's capacity), at strengthening the transmission system, expanding power facilities in Juba, and at major institutional and operational improvements. It will include: (i) 15 MW of diesel generating capacity at Burri (Khartoum); (ii) the fourth generating unit (42 MW at Roseires); (iii) complementary extensions of the 220 kV and 110 kV transmission lines; (iv) 5 MW of diesel plant and distribution lines at Juba; (v) long-term planning studies for preparation of a 15-year electricity development plan by early 1976, and other necessary studies; and (vi) implementation of a program for reorganization of PEWC and improvements in its technical operations and management, with the assistance of the UK Electric Council.
