6 FAQs about [South Sudan microgrid power system]

Is there a rural micro-grid in South Sudan?

However, government sources indicate that rural micro and mini-grids exist in a few rural centres in South Sudan, including Yei (1.5 MW), Kapoeta (0.8 MW), and Maridi (0.8 MW), with a total capacity of 3.1 MW which are not functional. Other ongoing initiatives in the of-grid sector are noted to be donor-funded, as indicated in Table 1 below.

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