The Ethiopia-Sudan Power System Interconnection Project (Grand Renaissance-New Rabak, New Jabel Awelya) connects power generated by Ethiopia's Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), via Assosa, to new substations at Rabak and Jebel Aulia near Khartoum in Sudan.
The Ethiopia-Sudan Power System Interconnection Project involves constructing a 590 km, 500 kV high-voltage transmission line linking Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam (GERD) with Sudan's power grid, terminating at new substations in Rabak and Jebel Aulia near Khartoum. This interconnector is designed to facilitate the export of clean hydropower from Ethiopia's GERD, with a generation capacity of 5,150 MW, to Sudan, enabling Sudan to reduce reliance on thermal power and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The project includes upgrading substations at GERD, Rabak, and Jebel Aulia, and aims to improve power supply reliability and meet peak demand variability between the two countries. It is a key component of the Eastern Nile Power System and the continental PIDA program, promoting.
