A Bright Future for Renewable Energy in South
As renewable projects like UNMISS''s solar farm in Juba
The 20MW solar plant can generate sufficient power to supply electricity to up to 16,000 households in Juba, significantly reducing energy costs and bolstering grid reliability, said the project's developer.
The Juba Solar Power Station is a proposed 20 MW (27,000 hp) solar power plant in South Sudan. The solar farm is under development by a consortium comprising Elsewedy Electric Company of Egypt, Asunim Solar from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and I-kWh Company, an energy consultancy firm also based in the UAE.
The project contributes not only to the country's environmental targets but also to improving energy accessibility and affordability for local communities. The 20MW solar facility is capable of supplying power to approximately 16,000 households in Juba, offering a significant reduction in energy prices and enhancing grid stability.
Most of the electricity in the country is concentrated in Juba the capital and in the regional centers of Malakal and Wau. At that time the demand for electricity in the county was estimated at over 300 MW and growing. Nearly all electricity sources in the country are fossil-fuel based, with attendant challenges of cost and environmental pollution.
