Sudan''s Energy Shift Opens Doors for Construction in Renewable Projects
As Sudan moves towards a more sustainable energy future, the implications for the construction sector are profound. The shift towards renewables will require innovative
Research and projects on solar energy in Sudan have primarily concentrated on solar PV systems, with relatively limited focus on solar thermal energy. Nevertheless, there are some studies that have explored power generation using CSP technologies.
In the case of Sudan, technology and financing of solar energy projects are still the two big barriers to solar energy development in general. Other barriers include : High economic risk of CSP technologies and lack of public/private investment. High market concentration impeding new stakeholder entry.
However, with current consumption rates, these resources are projected to be depleted within the next 20 years, making the transition to alternative energy sources essential. Sudan possesses significant renewable energy potential across various resources, including hydro, solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy.
The government has identified six additional sites capable of producing a total of 2197 MW, though no significant new installations have been recently initiated. As part of the Sunbelt region, Sudan possesses substantial solar energy potential. However, the grid-connected capacity remains limited to the 5-MW El Fasher solar PV plant.
