SUDAN RENEWABLE ENERGY STORAGE
Located in Sudan, this project addresses the region''s inadequate grid supply by implementing an integrated ''photovoltaic + energy storage'' solution to provide clients with stable, clean power.

Because South Sudan is still in the beginning stages of their infrastructural development, there is a rare opportunity to move forward and address the issue of energy poverty by building sustainable models of electrification, like solar power, without having to dismantle an already existing energy foundation.
Most of the country's current energy production comes from generators that burn imported diesel, a costly method both economically and environmentally. According to the World Bank, only 8.4% of the population had reliable access to power and electricity in 2022, leaving the door wide open to produce much-needed renewable energy in South Sudan.
The hydroelectric potential of South Sudan is well over 2,105 MW with Fulla-falls-890 MW, Shukoli-235 MW, Lekki-410 MW, Bedden-570MW and Juba barrage-120 MW. However, more studies are needed to quantify the actual potential of mini-hydro sites stochastically distributed across the country especially in the greater Equatoria region.
