Rebuilding Sudan''s Energy Sector: Pathways to Equitable Post
Reliable energy is essential for industry, agriculture, healthcare, education, and small businesses. However, without fundamentally transforming the sector, Sudan may not be
However, 54 MW of geothermal projects are planned by 2030. Additionally, Sudan's nuclear energy program targets two 600-MW reactors by 2030, while tidal energy projects could contribute 1.2 TWh annually to the grid. These initiatives aim to diversify Sudan's energy mix and enhance the country's sustainability.
However, with current consumption rates, these resources are projected to be depleted within the next 20 years, making the transition to alternative energy sources essential. Sudan possesses significant renewable energy potential across various resources, including hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy.
While 54.6% of the country's electricity is derived from hydropower, other renewable sources collectively contribute a mere 0.78% to the national grid. To address this disparity, collaborative efforts between public and private sectors are imperative to advance renewable energy development and utilization in Sudan.
The energy supply in Sudan is primarily derived from crude oil, hydroelectricity, biomass, and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy. As illustrated in Figure 2a, biomass is the largest contributor, accounting for 52% of Sudan's total energy consumption.
