Wind Power Harnessing in Sudan, Opportunities
This study concentrates on Sudan as one of African countries; that possess a good potential in wind power which can be integrated to
For Sudan, the journey towards harnessing the power of wind has just begun, but the prospects are bright, and the potential benefits are enormous. By investing in wind energy, Sudan can not only secure a more sustainable and resilient energy future for its people but also contribute to the global fight against climate change.
Currently, wind energy contributes minimally to Sudan's total electricity generation, with only 3.7 GWh produced in 2023 from a single 0.8-MW wind turbine installed as part of Dongola Wind Project of 100 MW. This output represents just 0.02% of the country's total electricity production .
The energy supply in Sudan is primarily derived from crude oil, hydroelectricity, biomass, and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and geothermal energy. As illustrated in Figure 2a, biomass is the largest contributor, accounting for 52% of Sudan's total energy consumption.
Biomass—primarily derived from corn and sugarcane—serves as another critical energy source, poised to play a significant role in Sudan's energy mix. Furthermore, nearly half of Sudan's land area holds strong potential for wind energy development, positioning it as a viable contributor to future energy infrastructure.
