Project Overview
Construction of a high-voltage transmission line connecting Guba (Ethiopia) to Khartoum (Sudan) as part of the Eastern Africa Green Power Transmission Network, enabling power trade between the two countries and supporting regional integration.
Key Objectives
Establish a reliable power transmission interconnection between Ethiopia and Sudan; enable power trade between the two countries leveraging Ethiopia's hydropower potential; reduce power generation costs through efficient resource sharing; enhance the reliability of power supply in both countries; su...
Strategic Importance
This project represents a critical link in the Eastern Africa Green Power Transmission Network, enabling power trade between Ethiopia with its substantial hydropower resources and Sudan. It forms part...
Technical Specifications
Technology: The project will employ high-voltage AC transmission technology (likely 500kV) with modern design features including high-capacity conductors, robust tower structures for the challenging terrain, and advanced substation equipment with digital control systems.
Capacity: Approximately 400 km of 500kV high-voltage transmission line with transfer capacity of 2,000 MW; Two...

Financing Structure
The project financing will likely combine sovereign loans from multilateral development banks (AfDB, World Bank), bilateral financing from development partners, and contributions from the governments of Ethiopia and Sudan.
Market Analysis
Power demand in Sudan continues to grow at 7-9% annually, with supply constraints limiting economic development. Ethiopia has developed substantial hydropower capacity, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), creating significant export potential.
Investment Opportunities
Significant opportunities exist in: construction and installation of transmission infrastructure; supply of equipment (towers, conductors, substations); engineering and project management services; operations and maintenance services through management contracts; and technical training and capacity building.
