The Bahri Thermal Station in Sudan, which contributes about 17% of the country’s electricity production, was exposed to a massive fire yesterday morning, Saturday, without any party claiming responsibility for the incident.
As a result of this fire, Sudan lost more than 70% of its electrical energy, which led to a power outage in most Khartoum neighborhoods and other areas.
The war in Sudan led to major destruction of infrastructure, as electrical power stations and oil refineries were severely damaged in less than a day of being targeted, raising fears of widespread impacts on the country.
The material losses to infrastructure and public facilities in Sudan are estimated at between 120 and 150 billion dollars so far. The national product has also declined by about half, and the value of the national currency has deteriorated, with the dollar trading at more than 1,800 Sudanese pounds, compared to 600 pounds before the war.
At the same time, the health sector was affected after hospitals were exposed to destruction that threatened to collapse the entire health system, and more than 80% of hospitals were out of service. The costs required to rehabilitate this sector are estimated at approximately $11 billion.
Estimates indicated that the destruction included about 80% of industrial production units due to total and partial damage, which reflects the significant impact of the war on the country’s industrial sector, and more than 70% of bank branches were out of service.
According to economic experts, ending the current war and beginning to repair the damage would require more than $120 billion, with estimates of the total war losses exceeding $500 billion.
