Uganda and South Sudan have signed a power sales agreement (PSA) to boost electricity trade between the two neighbouring countries and socio-economic development in the border towns of Oraba, Elegu, Kaya and Nimule.
A 400kV Olwiyo-Juba transmission line will pick up power from the Olwiyo substation in northern Uganda, which is already operational at 132kV for distribution to Juba.
