Technical teams at the Merowe Dam power station are making significant progress in repairing vital infrastructure, raising hopes that regional blackouts could soon end.
The junta’s Ministry of Energy and Petroleum says partial power generation could resume as early as Sunday, pending final safety tests.
Key equipment and spare parts recently arrived from China, helping engineers accelerate long-delayed maintenance on damaged transmission lines.
Engineers are initially working to restart the Merowe-Murkhiyat transmission line and safely reconnect isolated areas to the national power grid.
If successful, electricity could return to badly affected areas in Khartoum, the Nile River and Red Sea states.
However, restoration remains dependent on thorough technical inspections to ensure the system is stable before full power distribution resumes.
Officials remain cautiously optimistic that restored electricity will revive local businesses and provide much-needed relief to millions of people.
The expected power restoration offers a crucial boost to communities struggling to rebuild essential infrastructure and restore normal life.
