Sudan has signed a loan agreement with the Arab Fund for Economic and Social Development (AFESD) to set up a 350 MW thermal power plant with a transformer station in Al-Bagair area at $ 200 million.
The station is expected to contribute to the dismantling of bottlenecks in the Al-Bagair area and Soba industrial zone as the area is one of the high load centers of the national network.
