The African Development Bank (AfDB) has begun lending to the South Sudan Distribution System Rehabilitation and Expansion Project, which was approved by the board on 18 September. The project aims to strengthen the distribution network in the capital, Juba, and is expected to cost around $26m. Work will include construction of a 33kV medium-voltage network and a 33/0.415kV transformer station, a low-voltage 415/240V network, a service connection, street lighting, project management and engineering and audit services. An AfDB appraisal team is working with the South Sudan Electricity Corporation (SSEC) and the government to review and finalise the scope of work, project costs and implementation schedule.
