The total installed power capacity in Sudan amounts to 1234.6 MW

The state owned National Electricity Corporation (NEC) is responsible for electricity generation, transmission and distribution in Sudan.

Only 30% of Sudan’s population has access to electricity.

Sudan’s energy consumption mix continues to be dominated by oil with hydroelectricity playing a minor role accounting for less than 10%.

The Sudan government is planning to build a national electricity network (grid) and they are taking steps in this regard.

South Sudan now sees more investments in the power sector with more number of electrical generation projects in that region.

Electricity is still being supplied through diesel powered generators to a large extent and yet more than 90% of the South Sudanese people are without access to electricity.

Current Scenario

The total electric power required by the South Sudan region is estimated to be 450 MW and going forward this has to be met.

The large hydropower plants being built in South Sudan along the river from Nimuli to Juba would take some time before they start actual operation.

South Sudan has been undertaking feasibility studies for various Mega hydropower projects with a combined capacity of 2 000 MW, the planned projects include Fula (890 MW), Shukoli (235 MW), Lakki (410 MW) and Bedden (570 MW).

Most of the diesel generators used for power generation in South Sudan are currently being made and brought from Finland, the aim is to reduce imports and become self sufficient.

Public sector power companies in Sudan such as The Southern Sudan Electricity Corporation and The National Electricity Corporation of Sudan (NEC) are going to play an active role going forward.

The Future Road

Sudan has vast potential to generate electricity from sources like hydro, along the Nile, solar and geothermal.

The power grid brings with it more focus on reducing power losses and outages, this can be ensured by a smooth power distribution network and an efficient electric grid, this is an area of technology partnerships for potential investors

Installation of transmission lines in Sudan is expected to see major growth and there is an opportunity for investment. For example: Sudan has seen increasing funding by the Government of China to the extent of 85% in power lines development initiative.

The Sudanese government is also proposing several projects to expand thermal and hydropower production, but is struggling to arrange sufficient financing. This is an investment opportunity area.

It is the aim of the Sudanese government to increase the access to electricity from 30% currently up to 90%.

Growth Drivers and Opportunities

Market Potential

The current electric power generation market in Sudan and South Sudan is not great and is secondary to the oil and gas sector. With numerous proposed hydro power projects and the need to establish a national grid, Sudan and South Sudan are looking for foreign direct investments, and herein lays an opportunity for electric power generation companies to enter the market
