South Sudan may supply Sudan with crude oil in exchange for imports of electricity, according to a tentative agreement signed Wednesday.

An official at Sudan's Ministry of Energy and Mining told Radio Tamazuj that South Sudan will supply the Um Dabakir power station in White Nile with crude oil produced in Adar Yeil, while Sudan will extend electrical power from Kosti to South Sudan.

The official said the two countries' two energy ministries signed the agreement at the level of technical committees so far, and that the matter will be coordinated with the oil transit department at the ministry.
