6 FAQs about [Liquid energy storage in south sudan]
How much does electricity cost in Sudan?
As for Ethiopia, Sudan imports electricity at a price of 4.5 cents/kilowatt [ 27 ]. In August 2021, the Minister of Energy and Petroleum declared that the Sudanese energy sector needed urgent maintenance and restructuring at a cost of $3 billion, another indicator of the dire financial needs of the sector [ 42 ].

Sudan produced an average of about 70,000 barrels per day (b/d) of total liquid fuels in 2023, and South Sudan produced an average of about 149,000 b/d. Sudan’s total liquid fuels production has steadily and significantly declined over the past decade because upstream exploration and development has been lacking in the country.
Does Sudan have enough energy?
Following the separation of oil-rich South Sudan from Sudan in 2011, Sudan has struggled to provide enough energy from sustainable sources to satisfy the growing needs of domestic household, industrial, and agricultural consumption [ 6 ].
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.
Is oil the right form of energy for South Sudan?
However, oil is not the right form of energy to meet South Sudan’s rising energy demand due to (1) high costs (e.g. high costs of fuel and generator repair), (2) sporadic diesel fuel supply, (3) inefficiency and unsustainability and (4) detrimental health impacts on people and environment.
How can Sudan restructure its energy sector from Morocco?

This recommended adjustment could encourage future investments targeting renewable production and attract more foreign and local investors to participate in renewable production projects.
