Sudan Energy Storage Power Station

Can solar energy be used in Sudan?

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.

What is the energy supply in Sudan?

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.

How many geothermal projects are planned in Sudan?

However, 54 MW of geothermal projects are planned by 2030. Additionally, Sudan's nuclear energy program targets two 600-MW reactors by 2030, while tidal energy projects could contribute 1.2 TWh annually to the grid. These initiatives aim to diversify Sudan's energy mix and enhance the country's sustainability.

How much of Sudan's electricity is derived from hydropower?

While 54.6% of the country's electricity is derived from hydropower, other renewable sources collectively contribute a mere 0.78% to the national grid. To address this disparity, collaborative efforts between public and private sectors are imperative to advance renewable energy development and utilization in Sudan.
