Ethiopia completes construction of 296 km Sudan power transmission line

The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo) has completed construction of a power transmission line that connects between Ethiopian power grid and Sudan.

Scope of work involved construction of a 296km long, 230kV line between the Ethiopian towns of Bahir-Dar and Metema and connects with a transmission line in Gedaref, a border town of Sudan, which connects it to power grid of Sudan.

The project received a $41m funding from the World Bank.

The transmission line will initially transmit 100MW of electricity to Sudan.

In addition, the project will reduce the green house gas emissions by utilizing Ethiopia's surplus hydro-power.
Furthermore, Ethiopia is planning to export 400MW of hydropower-generated electricity to Kenya by 2016, reports sudantribune.com.
