EETC delegation in Khartoum to set dates for Egypt-Sudan electricity linkage trials

A delegation from the Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company is currently in Sudan to decide on when to begin trial operations on the first 100 MW phase of the USD 60-70 bn Egypt-Sudan power interconnection project, an Electricity Ministry source tells Al Shorouk. The trial operations were scheduled to begin this month, but were pushed back to March due to delays from India’s Larsen & Toubro in completing construction. The Indian company has now completed 90% of the construction work, according to the ministry source.
