Kampala-based developer Aptech Africa says it plans to build a 12 MWp solar plant in Juba. The capital of South Sudan is set to host a new 12 MWp grid-connected solar plant.
The capital of South Sudan is set to host a new 12 MWp grid-connected solar plant. The nation had just 1 MW of grid solar at the end of 2021, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), but that figure could be set to leap thanks to a project under development in Juba by Ugandan company Aptech Africa.
South Sudan's rural electrification plans include large-scale solar thermal and small-scale solar photovoltaic power generation given its access to an average of more than 10 hours of sunshine per day year round, with radiation on the horizontal surface of about 5 – 6 kWh/m2/day.
In Sudan, three solar energy options are available: 1. Solar PV energy: 1000 MW (on- and off-grid) will be applicable in different states within Sudan. 2. Solar CSP technology: 100 MW (grid connected) will be applicable, especially in the northern part of Sudan. 3. Waste to Energy: 80 MW (grid connected) will be applicable in several intended sites.
The African Development Bank (AFDB) has another project in the west and north Kordofan states. S udan possesses a relatively high amount of solar energy, the annual global horizontal irradiation (GHI) varies between 2118-2483 kWh/m2/year [7]. Sudan photovoltaic electricity potential is shown in Fig. 1.
Aptech, which installed a solar rooftop-diesel system for the Upper Nile University of Malakal in South Sudan in November, has secured government approval to buy the electricity from the new project.

Proponents of solar energy argue that a solar system can produce reliable electricity for about 25 years. Having recognised solar energy potential, South Sudan is expected to put more emphasis on development of solar energy sector as part of its fight against energy poverty and economic diversification.
As characterised by ample sunshine with strong solar power potential, South Sudan remains as one of key destinations on African continent for solar energy investment. In addition to this, it has been documented that evolution of solar PV is of great significance in South Sudan.
A solar energy can also be transformative to South Sudan’s economy. For example, solar energy is affordable, cleaner and last longer as compared to energy from diesel-powered generators because generators need diesel to burn and they also need to be replaced after few years.
The good news is that South Sudan has already started its fight against energy poverty and one evidence for that is the ongoing construction of Nesitu 20MWp PV Solar + 35MWh BESS power plant at Nesitu, Juba.

HOMER simulation results demonstrated that the optimal type of PV for Sudan is the Studer VarioTrack VT-65 with Generic PV. The utilization of a solar PV system will avoid the production of approximately 27 million kg/year of pollutants and will reduce the cost of energy to USD$ 0.08746/kWh.
Situated in the sunbelt, Sudan is one of the largest countries in Africa endowed with an extremely high solar irradiation potential. However, no work has been done in the literature with a strategic context to study specifically the feasibility of renewable energy systems in Sudan despite the abundance of solar resource.
The optimal locations found in Sudan for utilizing solar energy were Wawa, followed by Kutum, Wadi Halfa, Dongola and Al-Goled due to their low costs of electricity, high clearness index and high levels of solar radiation.
Given that Sudan is endowed with an extremely high solar irradiation potential, the government has set a target of achieving a 667 MW of PV installed capacity by the end of 2031 (Murdock et al. 2019). This clearly reflects that the latter technology will play a key role in adjusting the electricity crisis of Sudan in the near future.
The first phase of the project has been already completed with a successful reclamation of around 400 Hectare, where the existing electrical energy system is isolated from the national grid of Sudan and consisted from one standalone diesel generator, which is denoted by DG1 in this study.
The two maps demonstrate the distribution of average solar radiation and average wind speed over Sudan, whereas the average values of solar radiation and wind speed recorded around 6.5 kWh/m 2 /day and 6.0 m/s, respectively, thus they are measured as among the highest values in the world. Fig. 8.
