Uganda (Olwiyo) - South Sudan (Juba) 400 kV Power Transmission Interconnection

400kV Olwiyo-Nimule-Juba(Sudan) 400kV Line (Substation: 2X150MVA 400/220kV Olwiyo SS; 190km Olwiyo - Nimule - Juba Transmission Line- Uganda"™s part)

The 400kV power line, begins at the 400kV substation at Olwiyo, in Northern Region of Uganda. This distance is approximately 60 kilometres. At Olwiyo, the line takes a general northerly direction to Nimule, in Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program and of the Isimba Hydroelectric Power Station become operational in 2019. The government of South Sudan has plans to extend the high-voltage power line to Juba

400kV Olwiyo-Nimule-Juba(Sudan) 400kV Line (Substation: 2X150MVA 400/220kV Olwiyo SS; 190km Olwiyo - Nimule - Juba Transmission Line- Uganda"’s part)

The 400kV power line, begins at the 400kV substation at Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station. The line travels in a north-westerly direction to Olwiyo, in Nwoya District, in the Northern Region of Uganda. This distance is approximately 60 kilometres. At Olwiyo, the line takes a general northerly direction to Elegu at the international border with South Sudan, a distance of about 130 kilometres. The distance traveled by this power line in Uganda is therefore approximately 190 kilometres. After crossing the international border into South Sudan, the line travels from Nimule, in Imatong State to Juba, the capital city of South Sudan, a distance of approximately 190 kilometres.

This power line is planned to transmit electricity from the 600 megawatts Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station in Uganda, to Juba in South Sudan. It is part of the regional power-sharing protocols of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program and of the East African Community. Uganda plans to sell electricity to neighboring countries, including South Sudan after Karuma Hydroelectric Power Station and Isimba Hydroelectric Power Station become operational in 2019. The government of South Sudan has plans to extend the high-voltage power line to Juba
