Solar energy has the greatest potential for use in Sudan compared to other forms of RE. Sudan possesses an average annual radiation range of 436 to 639 W/m2 per year, which exceeds the annual global average. The period of solar radiation in the country is between 8.5 and 11 hours per day .
The project is funded with $4 billion from the government and is projected to generate a total capacity of 1.8 GW, which would make it the world’s largest solar photovoltaic area. In 2018, the first phase was completed and 50 MW was generated [58, 59]. Sudan could exploit its renewable resources by adopting a strategy similar to Egypt.
Most of the attention is given to solar photovoltaic (PV) systems; no thorough techno-economic study has been carried out to evaluate the potential for CSP technologies in Sudan. The main aim of this paper is to encourage Sudan's authorities to pursue CSP technologies and overcome the associated challenges.
More than 96% of this capacity was derived from fossil fuels and hydropower; the rest was dependent on RE, viz., solar and biomass [ 31 ]. The country from 14 MW in 2019 to 18 MW in 2020. Figure 4 shows the breakdown of energy production resources in Sudan. Sudan’s energy sector. The accusation that Sudan sponsors terrorism and the resulting
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 .
Sudan possesses an average annual radiation range of 436 to 639 W/m2 per year, which exceeds the annual global average. The period of solar radiation in the country is between 8.5 and 11 hours per day . There is, furthermore, much unused land available for RE development .
