History

Following the split from Sudan, South Sudan signed THE SOUTHERN SUDAN ELECTRICITY CORPORATION ACT, 2011 into law. Setting up the establishment of the SSEC in 2012 under the Ministry of Energy and Mining. At that point the country was only producing 22 MW of installed electricity generation capacity split into three isolated networks with only 1% of the country's nine-million people having access to electricity.

On January 24, 2014, the SSEC was approved for a grant from the African Development Bank Group to rehabilitate and expand the distribution networks in Juba.
