Sunnova Partners with Non-Profit To Provide Minigrids in South Sudan

One day, SMI hopes to integrate microgrids into the system, which would enable the farmers to use excess energy from the solar minigrids to power crop storage and cooling facilities as well as fulfill other community needs around education and health. The SMI and Sunnova collaboration in South Sudan isn''t the only minigrid project in Africa.

Are there mini-grids in South Sudan?

Several companies have developed and operate mini-grids in South Sudan, as summarised in Annex 4. Data on type, number of end users, and retail tarifs were unavail-able for all companies apart from SunGate Solar.

Is finance a barrier to developing a mini-grid supply chain in South Sudan?

The lack of access to finance was identified as a critical barrier to developing the of-grid and mini-grid supply chain in South Sudan. One of the respondents in the study reported that financial institutions charge high interest rates, up to 22%, thus making it unattractive to borrow money to expand business activities.

What is the South Sudan off-grid market?

Developing the of-grid products supply chain and product line The South Sudan off-grid market is dominated by non-specialised vendors and retailers who sell other products, including off-grid products.

How can humanitarian agencies contribute to solar energy in South Sudan?

Refugee contexts in countries such as Jordan have also led to the increased transition to solar energy through donor-led initiatives. Humanitarian agencies can also play a critical role in generating demand for solar systems in South Sudan refugee settlements, where biomass is predominantly used as energy source (Lemi & La Belle, 2020).

What are the barriers to developing the solar sector in South Sudan?

Another impediment to developing the of-grid solar sector in South Sudan is the limited capacity of technicians to install, maintain and repair the solar systems (Mozersky & Kammen, 2018).

Is South Sudan achieving SDG 7?

South Sudan is of track to achieving Sus-tainable Development Goal number 7 (SDG-7), and the lack of access to widespread, reliable, and afordable electricity is a binding constraint to socio-economic development.
