South Sudan is the latest recipient of funds from the African Development Bank’s (AfDB) African Development Fund (AFD) – $26 million to rehabilitate and expand the electricity distribution networks in the capital Juba. The project will see the construction of 145-km of low voltage 33 kV lines, 370 km of medium-voltage lines, the purchase and installation of 195 transformer stations, and 20,000 prepaid meters for connecting 20,000 new customers.
The Power Distribution System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project aims at providing reliable electricity supply from existing and future generation facilities, satisfying the suppressed load and demand growth in the city. The upgraded and reinforced electricity supply will contribute to improve the quality of service provided by the national utility; the quality of life of residents; and promote businesses.
