closed

The proposed project is designed to help meet Sudan's power requirements up to the end of 1986. The project would include the following elements: (a) addition of the fifth and sixth hydro-units (80 MW) at the existing Roseires hydroelectric facility plus embedded parts of unit seven; (b) reinforcement of the 33 kV transmission circuits between Burri and Khartoum North substations; (c) extention to Kartoum North substation; (d) engineering and site supervision; (e) management and staff training, (f) stringing of the second 220-kV transmission circuit between Sennar junction and the Kilo X substation in Khartoum; (g) installation of about 40 MW diesel generating capacity of Burri power station; (h) installation of the first and second units (2 x 30 MW) at the Khartoum North steam power plant. The physical risks of the project are negligible. Other risks associated with managerial/administrative capacity would be mitigated by the project.
