About this plant

Located in Sudan, the Roseires hydroelectric facility ranks as the 5th largest power generation plant among the country’s 18 facilities, with a capacity of 233.6 MW. This makes it the second-largest hydro plant in Sudan, contributing approximately 8.39% to the nation’s total capacity of 2,783 MW. Hydropower is the dominant fuel source in Sudan, reflecting the country’s rich water resources and commitment to utilizing them for energy generation. Roseires is notably isolated, with no neighboring plants within a 50 km radius, which accentuates its role as a critical source of energy for the surrounding region. The facility harnesses the power of the Blue Nile River, utilizing advanced turbine technology to convert water flow into electricity efficiently. This strategic positioning not only ensures a stable energy supply but also underscores the significance of hydropower in Sudan’s overall energy strategy. As the nation continues to develop its energy infrastructure, the Roseires plant stands as a testament to the potential of hydroelectric power in paving the way for sustainable energy solutions. The operational efficiency and renewable nature of the Roseires facility position it as a key player in Sudan’s pursuit of energy independence and environmental sustainability.
