Per capita electricity consumption in South Sudan is about 1 to 3 kWh, compared to 80 kWh in Sub-Saharan African, and is the lowest in the region.
The upgraded and reinforced electricity supply will contribute to improve the quality of service provided by the national utility; the quality of life of residents; and promote businesses, hence contributing to economic growth and poverty reduction in South Sudan.
The proposed Bank support to Juba PDSRE Project is in line with the South Sudan Development Plan and South Sudan Infrastructure Action Plan both identifying infrastructure as a core priority for South Sudan.
This government is led by a cabinet of 35 members. Under the terms of the agreement, SPLM will nominate 20 ministers, SPLM-IO will nominate nine ministers, South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) will nominate 3, former detainees will nominate 2 and the remaining minister will be nominated by other parties to the agreement.
Increased temperatures cause power distribution lines to sag dry hot weather in South Sudan is also accompanied by high speed winds which can knock down distribution poles causing short circuiting and power outages affecting power supply. This is mitigated by use of concrete poles and insulated conductors.
