Khartoum’s energy minister has said that the Russian engineering firm Power Machines will supply turbines and modernize key power facilities, to upgrade Sudan’s national hydropower infrastructure.
Mohi-Eddin Naeem Mohamed Saeed said that under the deal, Power Machines will supply new turbines for the Merowe hydroelectric power plant in northern Sudan and modernize several other key facilities.
The Sudanese minister arrived in Moscow earlier this month and met with Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev to discuss joint energy projects. Saeed said the new agreement will help boost hydropower production across Sudan, saying that “In electricity supply, we reached an agreement with the Russian company Power Machines on the supply of turbines to the hydroelectric plant in Merowe, to increase hydropower production in Sudan.”
Under the agreement Power Machines will also modernize other facilities, including hydroelectric plants in Roseires, Sennar, and Setit. Hydropower provides 70% of the electricity production in Sudan.
