Overview
Summary
The Dal project site is located on the Nile in Sudan some 280 km downstream of Dongola and immediately upstream of Lake Nubia / Lake Nasser. The project comprises of a 30 m high dam with 1400 m long crest and 400 MW installed generation capacity. The dam will create a reservoir of area 300 km2 and 2470 MCM storage volume. It also includes the construction of 240 km 220 KV AC double circuit power transmission line from Dal to Dongola.
Prefeasibility studies were completed in 2007 with grant funding from the African Development Bank under the Easer Nile Power Trade Program.
