Sudan solar Energy Storage Transformation Project

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.

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 solar power will Sudan have by 2035?

Plans are underway to deploy 1200 solar pumps in West and North Kordofan. By 2035, the government also plans to establish 190 MW of solar PV home systems, 400 MW of solar pumping, 250 MW of rooftop PV systems, and 27 MW of PV-diesel hybrid systems. In wind energy, Sudan aims to achieve a total installed capacity of 1550 MW by 2035.

Should Sudan transition to alternative energy sources?

However, with current consumption rates, these resources are projected to be depleted within the next 20 years, making the transition to alternative energy sources essential. Sudan possesses significant renewable energy potential across various resources, including hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy.
