A Bright Future for Renewable Energy in South Sudan
By installing reliable and sustainable solar-powered systems, ApTech Africa empowers households with clean energy, improving access to electricity, enhancing quality of life and
Research and projects on solar energy in Sudan have primarily concentrated on solar PV systems, with relatively limited focus on solar thermal energy. Nevertheless, there are some studies that have explored power generation using CSP technologies.
As one of the 148 Sunbelt countries near the equator, Sudan benefits from excellent solar radiation metrics, making it highly suitable for electricity generation using photovoltaic (PV) systems or concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies.
Because South Sudan is still in the beginning stages of their infrastructural development, there is a rare opportunity to move forward and address the issue of energy poverty by building sustainable models of electrification, like solar power, without having to dismantle an already existing energy foundation.
The energy supply in Sudan is primarily derived from crude oil, hydroelectricity, biomass, and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy. As illustrated in Figure 2a, biomass is the largest contributor, accounting for 52% of Sudan's total energy consumption.
