Kajbar Power Station

Sudan

The 1773rd largest power station in the world

300 MW · Capacity

The Kajbar Power Station is a proposed hydroelectric power plant on the Nile in northern Sudan. Flooding the third cataract, it will have a power generating capacity of 360 MW, enough to power over 202,000 homes. Among other goals, the dam aims at facilitating heavy industry implantation in the area by its power generation. Kajbar power station is part of a larger hydropower generation programme all along the Nile in Sudan, that also includes the Merowe dam (completed in 2009), Shreiq dam and Dal dam (proposed). As of 2020, the project is stalled and the expected completion date is unknown.
