Arkyiai power station is a 600 MW coal power station in Red Sea, Sudan. It is operated by National Electricity Corp [100%]. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 751k homes (estimated). It ranks #4 of 22 Sudan power plants by installed capacity. In context, coal supplies about 0.0% of Sudan's electricity; the national grid averages 154 gCO₂/kWh (79.7% low-carbon) (2024).

Technically it is described as subcritical. Coal plants burn pulverised coal to raise high-pressure steam for a turbine; they run as baseload but are the most carbon-intensive mainstream source and the first targeted for retirement or efficiency retrofits.

This coal plant burns coal to raise high-pressure steam that spins a turbine-generator. It sits in a hot desert climate (Köppen BWh) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 19.6°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
