South Sudan’s installed power capacity is about 130 megawatts, a large chunk of which is used to supply electricity to the country’s abundant oil fields. However, the country’s power demand is about 300 megawatts, an amount that’s likely to grow during peacetime, Deng said. “We are actually thirsty [for generation],” he said.
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 ].
Meantime, Sudan can import cheap electricity from Egypt’s Aswan Dam and Ethiopia’s Renaissance Dam using current interconnections. Perhaps one day a developed RE system can enable Sudan to become an energy exporter. No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author (s).

Bahrain’s Vision 2030 outlines measures to protect the natural environment, reduce carbon emissions, minimize pollution, and promote sustainable energy. Bahrain’s Sustainable Energy Authority (SEA), created by royal decree in 2019, designs energy efficiency policies and promotes renewable energy technologies that. . Despite increased energy consumption resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, Bahrain reached its 6 percent energy efficiency target in 2019, six years ahead of schedule. According to. . Bahrain Tender Board - Bahrain Economic Development Board - . . Bahrain’s proposed renewable energy pipeline consists of solar, wind, and waste to energy technologies, with SEA intending to capture the majority of Bahrain’s renewable energy mix from solar power. SEA is planning for. [pdf]
Bahrain’s utilities segment is driving demand for new infrastructure and investment due in part to renewable energy and efficiency strategies. The government is restructuring its oil and gas holding company, Bapco Energies.
Bahrain is also beginning to ramp up investment in renewables as it works towards its goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2060. The spike in oil prices in early 2022 could offer further incentive for Bahrain to expand its green energy capabilities. In September 2021 Bahrain announced plans to restructure its oil and gas industry.
To address the problem of land scarcity for larger solar farms, SEA is considering installing “floating solar” technologies to be deployed for power generation in Bahrain’s territorial waters. Offshore renewable energy development presents an opportunity to pursue large-scale generation and achieve higher renewable energy targets.
Electrochemical storage (batteries) will be the leading energy storage solution in MENA in the short to medium terms, led by sodium-sulfur (NaS) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries.
Offshore wind is also a promising sector due to of Bahrain’s favourable wind conditions and its shallow waters, which are conducive to the installation of wind farms.
BGB operates a facility with a capacity of 850,000 tonnes per year. Moreover, BAC supplies jet fuel to Bahrain International Airport from its aviation fuel farm, which has a capacity of 30,000 cu metres. This facility, which was completed in April 2021, enhances the airport’s fuel supply capabilities.

Kampala-based developer Aptech Africa says it plans to build a 12 MWp solar plant in Juba. The capital of South Sudan is set to host a new 12 MWp grid-connected solar plant.
The capital of South Sudan is set to host a new 12 MWp grid-connected solar plant. The nation had just 1 MW of grid solar at the end of 2021, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), but that figure could be set to leap thanks to a project under development in Juba by Ugandan company Aptech Africa.
South Sudan's rural electrification plans include large-scale solar thermal and small-scale solar photovoltaic power generation given its access to an average of more than 10 hours of sunshine per day year round, with radiation on the horizontal surface of about 5 – 6 kWh/m2/day.
The Juba project will be financed by Ezra Construction, which is part of the South Sudanese Ezra Group, an Aptech Africa representative told pv magazine. IRENA's latest figures show that South Sudan's 1 MW of grid solar has been in place since the end of 2018.
The solar power plant project in Madhya Pradesh, to be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, comprises three solar generating units of 250 MW each located on a 500-hectare plot of land inside a solar park with a total area of 1500 hectare.
Aptech, which installed a solar rooftop-diesel system for the Upper Nile University of Malakal in South Sudan in November, has secured government approval to buy the electricity from the new project.
