Wind Power – Renewable Energy Council of South Sudan
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

ibution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered ated as biomass each year. It is a basic measu e of biomass productivity. The chart shows the average NPP in the
This infographic summarizes results from simulations that demonstrate the ability of South Sudan to match all-purpose energy demand with wind-water-solar (WWS) electricity and heat supply,
You know, South Sudan''s energy crisis isn''t just inconvenient - it''s literally holding back development. With only 7% of the population connected to grid electricity, most communities
A hybrid renewable energy-based power generation system, consisting of solar PV, wind turbine generators, diesel generator (DiG), bi-directional grid-tied charging inverter (CONV) and
South Sudan faces a serious energy crisis due to a number of factors, including devastating conflicts (e.g. 1955-172, 1983-2005 & 2013-present) and reliance on the fossil fuel source.
This study includes a historical analysis of the daily wind and solar data collected over a period of 40 years (1974–2014) at four meteorological stations in South Sudan.
Development of utility-scale wind power plants is marginal in two locations while small-wind turbines development may be possible in the north-north eastern locations. Further
The actual wind power generation potential in South Sudan is not yet thoroughly studied. However, some preliminary studies show a very low
This quantitative assessment offers clear perspectives into the renewable-energy landscape of South Sudan, emphasizing the potential of solar and wind energy to address the
Key Figures & Findings: South Sudan is embarking on a significant renewable energy transformation, with a new solar-plus-battery storage (BESS) project to address the country''s
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
Data on the wind resource in 33 locations in South Sudan are available. Wind energy potential generally poor during rainy season. Locations south and north east of the country have the least potential. Possibility of development of small wind turbines for electricity generation.
With abundant onshore wind, Sudan can adopt successful African strategies and attract regional and international energy initiatives, such as the Africa-EU partnership program, the Africa Clean Energy Corridor, and Power Africa .
Currently, only 30% of the population in Sudan, mainly in urban areas, have access to electricity (Omer, A., 2013, p. 5). Consequently, the national development and existing services are being negatively affected. Sudan's energy infrastructure is suffering.
Despite these urgent efforts, the Sudanese government is currently still unable to finance any immediate solutions that would guarantee a constant and continuous electricity supply. Sudan requires 3,020 MW of electricity production to meet its domestic market needs; nevertheless, its current production capacity is 2,220 MW.
