Eritrea – Sudan Interconnector (230KV)
Project Description
The project entails the development of a double circuit 230kV Sudan-Eritrea power transmission interconnector from Kassala in Sudan via-Tesene-Barentu-Akordat-Keren to Asmara, Eritrea. The project will take three years, including feasibility studies, before being fully operational, and revenues for payment of financing will come from the sale of electricity.
Besides enhancing power trade and economic development between the two countries, the transmission line will offer opportunities for electrification of rural communities, especially within Eritrea, at marginal costs compared with current options available.
The project is expected to support investments in infrastructure that will facilitate the coordinated development of interconnection facilities between Eritrea and Sudan, removing the physical constraints to power system integration. The power trade between Ethiopia, Sudan and Eritrea will be enhanced.
