Renewable Energy in Sudan: Current Status and Future Prospects
ABSTRACT Sudan relies heavily on refined petroleum products for electricity generation, excluding hydropower, contributing to environmental degradation through petroleum combustion. This
Over the last few years, the electricity sector in Sudan has been in a state of crisis: 60 per cent of the Sudanese population have been living without electricity. What is the path forward to an urgent, sustainable, and feasible solution?
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.
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.
This initiative was informed by an energy forecasting study conducted with the assistance of the IAEA under the Technical Cooperation Project SUD/0/008, which aimed to determine Sudan's optimal energy generation mix up to 2030, including nuclear energy as a potential source .
