Merowe and Roseires Dams in Sudan
Responding to the low electrification levels in Sudan, ACG has contributed to the development of Merowe and Roseires dams in Sudan. The Merowe dam is the largest contemporary hydropower project in Africa and is expected to yield more than 6,500 gigawatt hours of energy annually, increasing electrification levels in rural areas and villages. Rural electrification is key to the socio-economic advancement of developing nations. Electricity allows for the enhanced provision of healthcare services in addition to providing industrial and agricultural opportunities.
