6 FAQs about [Spark solar energy South Sudan]
Does solar energy have potential in Sudan?
According to the study, solar energy has a huge potential in Sudan for contributing to the energy sector and development of the country. However, this potential is being challenged by the country's lack of incentives and current policies.
Will South Sudan host a new 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.
How can South Sudan's energy sector support peacebuilding?
One possibility for South Sudan’s electricity sector is to work with the energy transition objectives of the United Nations (UN) Secretariat, which present new and unique opportunities to unlock a series of clean energy projects across the country. This approach is also a creative way to support peacebuilding.
Will South Sudan build a 12 MWp solar plant in Juba?
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.
How does South Sudan's energy sector affect conflict dynamics?
South Sudan’s energy sector is deeply embedded in the country’s conflict dynamics, from the economy’s near total dependence on oil production and the accompanying patronage systems to the reliance on imported diesel for access to electricity.
Does South Sudan have a refining capacity?
Despite being an oil-producing state, South Sudan has no domestic refining capacity. Virtually all access to electricity comes from generators that rely on imported diesel. This energy dependence requires hard currency, which is a drain on the government’s limited cash reserves.
