Power Generation

Sudan began the electricity industry in

1908, the first 100 KW generator was

installed by English Electric Company and

then raised to 500 kW at Burri Power Plant

in Khartoum.

Due to the demand growth, in 1925

contract signed with group of British

companies for a period of thirty years for the

development of electricity.

Steam generation was started in 1956 at Burri

Power station (30 megawatts) 4 steam

turbines.

In 1960, the government Established Central

Electricity and Water Corporation which began

to extend electricity and water services in

major cities in the country.

Gas turbines generation began in 1968 at Kilo

X Power station (15 MW) Fiat gas turbine.

Hydr Thermal

There are 13 thermal

power plants with

different type of

generation :steam

turbines, gas turbines,

combined cycle and

diesel.

The total installed

capacity ( grid +off grid) is

about 1,650 MW.

Merowe Dam_ 1250MW

In 1962 it was a first Hydro power

plant to generate electricity from

Sinnar Dam with a capacity of 15 MW.

Sudan has five hydro power plants

with a total capacity of 1,593 MW,

Sinnar Power plant: consists of two units with total

capacity of 15 MW(1962)

Elgria Power plant: consists of three pumps

Turbine and two units with a total capacity of 17.8

MW (1964)

Roseires Power plant: consists of seven units with

total ge capacity of 280 MW. (1971)

Jabel Awlia Power plant: consists of 80 units with

total capacity of the plant is 30.4 MW. (2005)

Merowe Dam Power plant : its recent and

bigger dams which erected in 2009, it is

consists of (10) units with total capacity of

1250 MW. Merowe Dam power evacuated

via transmission of high-voltage (500 kV) for

the first time in Sudan.

Total Hydro generation now 1593 MW

Due to the electrical energy demand growth

the ministry of water resources & electricity

plans to increase the generation capacities

with different sources as well as

conventional and renewable energy.

The short-term plan 2016-2020 comprise of

the following projects:

To use a available hydro potential for

the following projects:

No Dam Capacity (MW)

1 Up Atbara - Sitat 320

2 Kajbar 360

3 Dagash 312

4 Total 982

According to the short-term plan the

following thermal power plants projects will

implemented:

No Project Capacity

(MW)

1 Red Sea Combined cycle 1,500

2 Red sea fired coal –steam turbines 600

3 Garri3 simple cycle –phase1 510

4 Garri3 combined cycle phase2 240

Total 2,850

Alfula Project: three units each with

capacity of 135 MW with a total

capacity of 405 MW ,the first unit is

expected to synchronize in 2017.

Transmission Lines to west of Sudan

Region (Alfula- Babnosan –Nyala –

Alfashir – Alginana)

In order to meet the rapid increase

of the demand ,The ministry of

WRE aim to provide many mobile

gas turbines as fast track project.

The first set comprise of six units

with total capacity of 150 MW.

Port Sudan Project : Combined Cycle with

total capacity of 1,500 MW

Red Sea Project consist of three units steam

turbine Coal fired with total generation

capacity of 600 MW.

Garri 3 Project :comprise of two phases

:open cycle 510 MW, upgrading to combined

cycle with total capacity 750MW

Rural Electrification Program

The project aims to provide the electricity

service to the households in rural areas far

from the grid by installing Solar Home

Systems

Target: installing 1.1 million 50-100-200W

solar home system(SHS)

Period: 2015-2031

5.5 million, 26% of population in rural areas

Budget: ≈ 600million US $

RENEWABLE ENERGY – Rural Electrification Program

31

Pilot project: a pilot project for 100 SHS in 4

different states was implemented.

To insure the repayment of the loans on

monthly basis (installments) by the

beneficiaries, a prepaid meter has been

designed and adopted.

Currently 10,000 Solar home systems

implementation ongoing
