South Sudan has taken a significant step toward renewable energy with the launch of its first large-scale solar power project. The Ezra Group, a prominent business conglomerate, has successfully developed and financed a 20-megawatt (MW) solar power plant, complemented by a 14-megawatt-hour (MWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
By investing in solar power and battery storage technology, the country is making a decisive move toward energy independence, economic growth, and a sustainable future for its people. South Sudan has taken a significant step toward renewable energy with the launch of its first large-scale solar power project.
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 detailed in Table 2, the total installed capacity of thermal power plants in Sudan is 1672.27 MW. The largest thermal power plant is Kosti, with an installed capacity of 500 MW . Additionally, the Red Sea Electricity Project is under construction near Arkey Port on the Red Sea coast.
South Sudan is a high-impact solar energy market, where electricity access can change lives. With world-class irradiation, minimal grid infrastructure, and growing demand for services, solar power is
