Sudan began the electricity industry in 1908, the first 100 KW generator was installed by English Electric Company and then raised to 500 kW at Burri Power Plant in Khartoum.
Although power generation has more than tripled since 2000, millions of people are still without access to on-grid electricity. More than 70% of the population live in rural and isolated communities and it is estimated that only 30% of Sudan’s total population currently has access to electricity.
