South Sudan independent power plant celebrates its second anniversary

The Ezra Power plant celebrates its second anniversary on 21 November. The power plant, located in Kondokoro Mangalla County, produces the bulk energy supplied to the Juba Electricity Distribution Company Ltd (JEDCO), the licensed electricity distributor in Juba.
It took the Ezra Construction & Development Group (ECDG), a subsidiary of the Ezra Group, just over two years to get the first phase of the plant running after being awarded the contract in August 2017. Currently, the power plant supplies over 30 000 homes and businesses in Juba.
The Ezra family started doing business in Ethiopia in 1986 and, with hard work, determination and savvy business skills, this small company was transformed into a highly structured incorporated organization in 2003.
The Group started operations in South Sudan in 2004. Today, Ezra Group Holdings, the parent company of five subsidiaries, is seen as a catalyst for change in South Sudan, where they have committed to building a lasting legacy as they transform the country’s landscape.
