The move, the company said in a statement, marked a significant step forward in the rehabilitation and enhancement of this vital infrastructure in the region.
Located in the Western Bahr el Ghazal State capital, Wau, the project represents a substantial investment in South Sudan’s power infrastructure and brings about a transformative impact on both social and economic fronts.
According to the entity, the power station project holds immense promise for the region, with households currently burdened by high costs of approximately USD50 cents per kilowatt hour from small standalone generators.
With the project’s implementation, these costs are anticipated to significantly decrease, alleviating financial strain on households and businesses in Wau.
Moreover, the project’s launch is expected to rejuvenate Wau city, restoring its proud legacy as an industrial center, the statement further stressed.
“The launch of the sensitisation campaign for the Wau Power Project represents a crucial milestone for Trinity Energy and underscores our commitment to driving positive change in South Sudan. By reducing energy costs and connecting Wau City to the grid, we are not only enhancing the quality of life for residents but also unlocking vast opportunities for economic growth and development in the region,” said Dr. Philip Waden, the Power Project Manager.
The campaign will encompass a comprehensive media outreach initiative, with engagement efforts for community leaders, chiefs and government officials.
Trinity Energy has, as part of the campaign, organized a friendly football match between its team and Salaam, to foster community spirit and mutual trust.
The company emphasized that the launch of the sensitisation campaign for the Wau Power Project underscores Trinity Energy’s dedication to empowering communities and fostering sustainable development in South Sudan.
“Through collaborative efforts and strategic investments, Trinity Energy is poised to drive meaningful change and catalyze economic growth for the benefit of all stakeholders, ” concluded the statement.
Established in 2012, the independent energy company holds a global footprint with offices in South Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), ensuring its clients enjoy versatile service, quality products and a secure supply of vital fuel products.
