Overview
Electricity projects in Sudan have been of special interest to ADFD, given their importance in commercial and industrial activities and services, and as one of the pillars of social welfare.
The Al Rosais project, funded by ADFD with a loan of AED 92 million aimed to exploit the Nile water to generate additional power of approximately 565 MW and provide irrigation water to about 1.4 million hectares of agricultural land near the dam area. This was done by raising the height of dam, which was built in 1966.
The project included civil works and all the complementary works to lift up the concrete dam, and also included the excavation and backfill on the riverbanks for about 10 meters and increasing its length by about 25km, in addition to the hydrodynamic, electrical and technical works of the entire project.
