Khartoum / Port Sudan Corridor, Republic of Sudan | 150MW Heavy Thermal Generation Station, 220kV/110kV High-Voltage Substation & 45,000 m³ Fuel Reserve Complex
The Sudan 150MW Regional Thermal Power Station & High-Voltage Substation is a premier sovereign energy infrastructure development constructed in Rabai, Kilifi County, near Mombasa, Republic of Kenya. Commissioned under national utility expansion plans with Kenya Power & Lighting Company (KPLC) and the Ministry of Energy, the project was engineered and executed by GY & Sons Holding in joint venture with international power engineering consortia to provide reliable baseload electricity to the Kenyan coast and national power grid.
Engineered to operate continuously under harsh desert and semi-arid conditions, the facility features heavy-duty thermal generation units equipped with high-capacity centrifugal filtration, exhaust heat recovery boilers, a massive 45,000 m³ heavy fuel oil storage tank farm, and an integrated 220kV/110kV high-voltage step-up transformer substation connecting directly to the national transmission supergrid.
Multi-unit heavy thermal baseload generation powering national industries and regional distribution grids.
High-capacity dual-voltage step-up transformer substation and switchyard connecting to national transmission lines.
Triple 15,000 m³ heavy fuel oil storage tanks ensuring continuous uninterrupted long-term baseload generation.
Engineered with multi-stage air intake sand filtration and closed-circuit heavy radiators for extreme temperatures.
