South Sudan faces a serious energy crisis due to a number of factors, including devastating conflicts (e.g. 1955-172, 1983-2005 & 2013–present) and reliance on the fossil fuel source.
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
This report explores the potential for renewable energy to support local energy access and peacebuilding in South Sudan, the newest and least electrified country in the world, by leveraging the renewable energy transition
This policy brief sheds light on the potential of renewable energy as a solution to South Sudan''s ongoing electricity crisis. It examines the key factors hindering the development of renewable energy resources for electricity generation in the country.
• Renewable energy costs have dropped dramatically in recent years, and usage has increased accordingly worldwide. These gains have not yet reached South Sudan and other conflict settings. • Transitioning internationally supported humanitarian operations from diesel to renewable energy would unlock numerous near-term and longer-term benefits.
This report explores the potential for renewable energy to support local energy access and peacebuilding in South Sudan, the newest and least electrified country in the world, by leveraging the renewable energy transition of the UN peacekeeping mission (UNMISS) - the single largest generator and consumer of electricity in the country.
Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).
''South Sudan is a member of the Eastern African Power Pool (EAPP) which aims to optimize the available energy resources and reduce electricity costs in the region.12 ''Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP) is planning to construct a 222 km power transmission line at
South Sudan faces a serious energy crisis due to a number of factors, including devastating conflicts (e.g. 1955-172, 1983-2005 & 2013–present) and reliance on the fossil fuel source. The country has the lowest energy consumption rate in Africa and the highest cost of

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.
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.
To enhance the sustainability of a solar initiative, and to ensure that South Sudanese benefit from the outset of a transition, new investment in renewable energy should be coupled with a significant commitment to fund local capacity building and training pro-grams in solar energy.
particularly important aspect of the evolution of solar PV energy for South Sudan is its scalability. data. As a global resource, renewable energy has come of age, with the sector seeing its largest annual increase in capacity in 2015.
The transition to solar energy is possible in at least three distinct types of humanitarian programs or operations in South Sudan: individual NGO compounds, hospitals, and POC sites. Practically all electricity in South Sudan is self-generated, as mentioned, by diesel genera-tors.
The cost of solar power in particular has dropped dramatically in recent years, and solar now is both a cheaper and a more consistent power source than alternatives in South Sudan. Solar panels can be easily scaled and can last for more than twenty years.
