South Sudan non battery energy storage

6 FAQs about [South Sudan non battery energy storage]

How much solar energy does South Sudan have?

South Sudan receives about 8 hours of sunshine daily, providing an estimated solar energy capacity of 436W/M2/year (REEP, 2013). Similarly, wind energy density ranges between 285 and 380 W/M2 (REEP, 2013). Both the solar sunshine duration and wind density meet the threshold required to produce high quality electricity.

How does lack of electricity affect business in South Sudan?

Specifically, over 75% of firms surveyed in South Sudan complained that lack of energy hinders business operation. Second, lack of electricity drives up costs as businesses and families try to produce their own power, which is extremely expensive.

Why is South Sudan facing a serious energy crisis?

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 producing energy (World Bank, 2016).

Can you buy electricity from neighbors in South Sudan?

Buying from the neighbors requires installing a grid infrastructure to transmit electricity to South Sudan. While it is easy to connect the border towns such as Nimule and Renk, it can be difficult to extend these grids to distant places such as Juba, Malakal, Wau, and any other major population and economic centers in the interior.

Why is energy infrastructure underdeveloped in South Sudan?

Partly due to the civil wars (e.g., 1955-1972, 1983-2005 & 2013-present), energy infrastructure remains very underdeveloped in South Sudan. Despite a peace agreement in 2015, which has been revitalized recently, conflict has impeded the country’s effort in transitioning to renewable energy.

Should subsidies be removed for solar & wind energy in South Sudan?

Subsidies have been crucial in the development of any energy sources, including oil and coal in the early stages of development. So, removing subsidies particularly on fuel for generators would level the investment ground for solar and wind energy in South Sudan.
