HARNESSING THE NILE TO INCREASE ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY
The Ethiopia-Sudan Interconnector, as the pioneering power pooling project within the framework of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), has broken new ground towards cross-border power trade and regional interconnection.
As one of the first tangible investments supported by the NBI, it has helped to convert the collaborative intentions of the NBI Member States into actual investments and benefits. Since full commissioning of the Interconnector at the end of 2013, both Ethiopia and The Sudan have a lot to celebrate.
