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
