Hotel uses 20MWh off-grid solar container from South Sudan
Below is a narrative description of how a solar-powered shipping container is revolutionising the face of access to global energy,off-grid energy, grid backup, and clean
According to the study, solar energy has a huge potential in Sudan for contributing to the energy sector and development of the country. However, this potential is being challenged by the country's lack of incentives and current policies.
The hydroelectric potential of South Sudan is well over 2,105 MW with Fulla-falls-890 MW, Shukoli-235 MW, Lekki-410 MW, Bedden-570MW and Juba barrage-120 MW. However, more studies are needed to quantify the actual potential of mini-hydro sites stochastically distributed across the country especially in the greater Equatoria region.
Hitherto, no significant research has been conducted to ascertain the actual potential of geothermal power generation in South Sudan. However, several rift basin features with uplifts and faulted blocks especially in the Equatoria region, offer geological conditions potentially conducive to accessing higher heat flux at reasonable wells depths.
Besides, the country is rich in forest and other woody biomass covering over 70 million hectares of land surface. The actual wind power generation potential in South Sudan is not yet thoroughly studied. However, some preliminary studies show a very low wind speed of about 2.5m/s in most parts of the country.
