According to Al Jazeera, citing the Associated Press, Sudan's power generation capacity has plummeted from about 4,400 megawatts before the war to approximately 1,100 megawatts, with recurring attacks on power plants exacerbating the electricity crisis. Al Jazeera also reported that between October 20 and November 2, 2026, power infrastructure in at least 9 states suffered no fewer than 18 attacks. The persistent blackouts have disrupted water supply, healthcare services, and agricultural and industrial production that rely on a stable power supply.
