Juba Thermal Power Station is a 33 MW Diesel fuel-fired thermal power plant in South Sudan.[1] The power station is being expanded to generate a total of 100 megawatts.[2]

Location

The power plant is located along the River Nile, in the city of Juba, the capital and largest city of South Sudan.[1][2]

Overview

Juba Thermal Power Station was developed and is operated by the Ezra Group of Companies, based in Eritrea. The plant, which opened in November 2019, serves about 100,000 households and is the first phase in a larger plan to bring 100 megawatts of new power to the world's newest country by the end of 2021.[1][3]

Funding

The Ezra Group plans to spend US$290 million in building generation capacity of 100 megawatts in South Sudan, over the next few years. The government of South Sudan is expected to pay back that loan over the next 17 years, using funds generated from electricity sales to individuals, businesses and factories.[1]

gollark: The distinction is that in C or whatever arrays are basically just pointers but vectors are proper resizable lists which handle the whatevering of memory.

gollark: C++ and Rust also call them vectors.

gollark: The OS they ship on them is a bit bad, so I used a somewhat accursed bootstrapping process to install Alpine on them.
