14 Deng, a Master's student from the University of Nairobi, in his 2013 study, established that 63% of households in Juba have access to electricity based on a survey he conducted for his Master's thesis. 82.77% of these expressed being unsatisfied.
Juba The Juba Power grid network is old and needs a serious overhaul. It is not uncommon to see fallen wooden electrical poles along major roads within the city. The old Juba grid is small and has been overtaken by the rapid growth of the city. This has left many residential areas in the city, especially the newly established, unconnected.
This transition is driven by three factors, namely income, irregularity and the eventual shutdown of the Juba Power, and the diesel fuel shortage. Third, those who own generators tend to move to a new source that is better because of the maintenance and fuel costs.
During the 1983 -2005 war, Juba was supplied by a 5 MW power station, which increased to 12 MW following the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005.5 After the CPA, the government bought new generators but these generators lasted for 3 years.
