Description
The Uganda South Sudan interconnection will provide about 100 to 200 MW to Juba regional Grid. 320 Km of 400KV Over-head Transmission Line (OHTL) and 134 km to Nimule (border South Sudan - Uganda) , 360 km to Karuma 200 km.
The Karuma-Juba High Voltage Power Line is a planned high voltage electricity power line, connecting the high voltage substation at Karuma, in Kiryandongo District, in the Western Region of Uganda, to another high voltage substation at Juba, in Jubek State, in South Sudan
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
Estimated cost is USD 115 M.
