Energy
tion of electricity throughout Sudan.
The supply of electric energy in Sudan started in
the capital of Khartoum in 1908. In 1925, the first
organization was founded under the name “Sudan
and Water Company” (SLWC). The organization was
renamed “Central Electricity and Water Administra-
tion” (CEWA) in 1959 and then “Public Electricity and
Water Corporation” in 1974.
The essential change of the Corporation happened
in 1981 with the separation of the water function and
the electricity function by the Government Act of
1982. The National Electricity Corporation has been
set up as a statuary corporation under the Ministry of
Energy and Mining.
Electrical power is mainly supplied by NEC either
from the National network or by isolated power sta-
tions in relatively remote areas. Many industrial,
commercial, governmental and private institutions
have their own standby generation and continuous
generation in remote areas.
Most of the national network is concentrated on
three interconnected parts: Khartoum, the central
network for the south of Khartoum which supplies
parts of Al Gezira, White Nile, Sennar, and the Blue
Nile States, and the Eastern network which supplies
parts of Gadarif and Kassala States.
Also, River Nile and Northern States are connected
to the national network in 2010. Port Sudan, the
capital of the Red Sea State is already connected
to the national network via 220kv Atbara-Port Sudan
transmission line.
The committed third circuit T/L project has covered
the White Nile State, Blue Nile State and part of the
Upper Nile State at El Rank.
NEC aims to be the best in its business, exceed its
customers’ requirements and participate in Sudan’s
development. The NEC will have highly motivated
workforce, training on continuous improvement,
waste reduction, customer focus and development
of partnerships. There is still a lot to be done in Su-
dan to set up the required infrastructure throughout
the gigantic territory. Investors are welcome to help
developing the network.
