News flash
Sudan has removed customs fees on solar photovoltaic systems as the country seeks to expand renewable energy use and reduce its dependence on hydropower and diesel generation.
The decision follows a fire at the 1.25 GW Merowe Dam hydroelectric plant, Sudan’s largest hydropower facility. The incident disrupted electricity supplies in Khartoum, Northern, River Nile and Red Sea states.
Maintenance crews have restored some backup thermal generation units to the grid, helping to recover part of the country’s electricity supply. Investigations into the cause of the fire are continuing.
The customs exemption is intended to lower the cost of solar equipment and encourage more households and businesses to install their own systems. Greater use of distributed solar could help reduce pressure on Sudan’s central power grid and improve electricity access during periods of hydropower disruption.
