6 FAQs about [Sudan contracts 500mw solar power generation]
How much solar power does Sudan have?
Most of Sudan's electricity generation comes from around 3.2 GW of hydropower. According to the latest statistics from the International Renewable Energy Agency, Sudan had only 19 MW of installed solar power at the end of 2019. The Sudanese government is aiming to install 500 MW of solar and 300 MW of wind by the end of the year.
Which solar energy options are available in Sudan?
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.
Should solar energy be adopted in The Sudan?
Theoretically,, technically,, and long term, there are huge potentials for solar energy adoption in The Sudan. The present transition phase requires a serious practical focused strategy to make positive contributions to its energy sector and development altogether.
Will Sudan be able to deploy solar power in Africa?
If implemented, these projects would represent the country's first attempt to deploy utility scale PV capacity. Sudan has one of the lowest levels of solar development in Africa although it has one of the best levels of solar radiation in the whole continent.
Are solar power generators a problem in Sudan?
An economic comparison between three types of electricity generators; stand-alone PV modules (50 Wp), two imported gen-sets (0.5, 2.4 kW), and a small mini-grid system (313kW peak) proved challenging in adopting PV systems in Sudan (Dongola and Northern Kurdufan).
Will Sudan buy electricity from UAE based companies?
In an official statement, the Sudanese government said it will buy the generated electricity at a competitive price over a period of 20 years from facilities that will be built by unspecified UAE-based companies. No more details on the projects' number and locations were disclosed.
