The Kajbar Power Station is a proposed hydroelectric power plant on the Nile in northern Sudan. Flooding the third cataract, it will have a power generating capacity of 360 MW, enough to power over 202,000 homes.[1] Among other goals, the dam aims at facilitating heavy industry implantation in the area by its power generation.[2]
Kajbar power station is part of a larger hydropower generation programme all along the Nile in Sudan, that also includes the Merowe dam (completed in 2009), Shreiq dam and Dal dam (proposed).[3]
As of 2020, the project is stalled and the expected completion date is unknown.
