PROJECT UPDATE
SUDAN
An overhead double circuit electrical transmission line from
Toshka 2 transformer station to Arqin station in Sudan is to be
installed. The project involves the implementation of the new
inter-connectivity project to supply Sudan with electricity at
a capacity of about 200 to 300 megawatts with linkage line
about 100 kilometres long. The connection begins from the
Toshka 2 transformer station to Arqin station in Sudan with
a voltage of 220kV.
GHANA
Nzema Solar Power Station is a 155-megawatt solar power
plant located at Aiwiaso Village, Nzema East District, Western
Region, Ghana. The power station will use a total of 630,000
solar photovoltaic (PV) modules which, when struck by sunlight,
will generate direct current (DC) electricity. Using inverters, the
DC will be converted to alternating current (AC), which will be
fed in the national electricity grid, to power an estimated
100,000 homes. The project will be developed on 83
hectares (450 acres).
