An Indian state-owned company offered to revive an agreement to set up a 1,000-Mega Watt power generation project in Sudan.
The project costs one billion US dollars and the government could pay for it with oil.Bharat Heavy Electricals limited (Bhel) is already constructing a 500 Mega-Watt thermal electricity plant in Kosti for the National Electricity Corporation (NEC).
The new power plant project could be commissioned this year.
The Kosti power plant was signed in 2006.
NEC and Bhel agreed that the capacity of the project could be doubled and Sudan pay for it with crude oil.
Sudan has a big deficit of electricity in spite of some big recent projects like the Meroe Dam.
