Solar Fills Sudan’s War-Damaged Grid
Coverage from AP News, Yahoo, and others
Sudan’s war has sharply reduced electricity generation and left parts of Khartoum, Omdurman, and other urban areas facing outages of up to 16 hours a day.
Some households and businesses are responding with rooftop solar, batteries, and inverters, but a typical 10-kilowatt system costs nearly $5,000, putting it beyond the reach of many low-income families. The power shortages are disrupting hospitals, pharmacies, schools, and medication storage, while imported equipment, currency depreciation, limited technical capacity, and displacement constrain wider solar adoption.
