Electricity storage and renewables: Costs and markets

Like solar photovoltaic (PV) panels a decade earlier, battery electricity storage systems offer enormous deployment and cost-reduction potential, according to this study by the International Renewable Energy

ENERGY PROFILE Sudan

emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and

An analysis of Sudan''s energy sector and its renewable

This article investigates Sudan''s renewable energy policies and the country''s potential to maximize renewable energy production. It argues that Sudan has great potential to secure a sustainable energy supply by switching

ELECTRICITY STORAGE

Electricity storage is expected to play a key role in facilitating the next stage of transformation of the electricity sector. Storage is of growing importance in grid applications thanks to the increased demand for flexibility in power systems, caused by the rising share of variable renewable energy (VRE) in the electricity supply mix.

UNDP launches roadmap for Sudan''s renewable energy future

With 60% of Sudan''s population lacking access to electricity, the findings highlighted in the report – like the high potential for wind energy in Northern State, River Nile and Red Sea, and Sudan''s high levels of solar irradiance throughout the country – equate to renewable energy offering significant opportunites, and mitigtion against

6 FAQs about [Sudan irena electricity storage and renewables]

How can Sudan restructure its energy sector from Morocco?

One of the most useful strategies Sudan can adopt from Morocco is the use of new legislation and new policies to restructure the energy sector. This recommended adjustment could encourage future investments targeting renewable production and attract more foreign and local investors to participate in renewable production projects.

How can Sudan achieve energy self-sufficiency?

Encouraging solar and wind power in the country’s energy portfolio could help Sudan achieve its goal of energy self-sufficiency. Egyptian policies such as nurturing and promoting renewable technologies and scientific research, feed-in tariffs, and tax exemptions could help Sudan achieve its objectives.

Is Sudan's Energy Sector Sustainable?

Further, Sudan’s energy sector is currently subsidised by the government. Government subsidies to the sector totalled $667 million in 2019. This represents 13.5% of total government expenditures . Financial sustainability could be achieved by introducing gradual tariff adjustments.

How much does electricity cost in Sudan?

As for Ethiopia, Sudan imports electricity at a price of 4.5 cents/kilowatt . 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 .

Will Sudan scale up solar power projects?

Sudan is also contemplating scaling up projects on solar power in the coming years. Most of Sudan’s electricity generation comes from hydropower, and more than half of the Eastern African region’s total oil-based capacity is located in the country. Sudan is also contemplating scaling up projects on solar power in the coming years.

Can Sudan become an energy exporter?

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).
