Credit: Ezra Group A public-private partnership in South Sudan has launched the country’s first major solar power plant and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in the capital Juba, where it is expected to provide electricity to thousands of homes.
Can solar power improve South Sudan's Energy Infrastructure?
Future Implications: Integrating solar and storage solutions could stabilize South Sudan’s energy infrastructure, creating a model for renewable energy adoption in other energy-deprived regions. South Sudan launches solar-BESS project to expand grid access, replacing diesel generators and boosting energy for underserved regions.
How does South Sudan produce energy?
Most of the country’s current energy production comes from generators that burn imported diesel, a costly method both economically and environmentally. According to the World Bank, only 8.4% of the population had reliable access to power and electricity in 2022, leaving the door wide open to produce much-needed renewable energy in South Sudan.
