United Arab Emirates-based PV system integrator Asunim Solar and renewable energy solutions consultancy I-kWh have formed a consortium to support Egyptian energy services company Elsewedy Electric T&D (EETD) build a large-scale PV and storage system in South Sudan. EETD last year secured a contract to build the 20 MWp PV plant and 35 MWh storage system near the South Sudanese capital of Juba. The project will serve the state of Jubek and surrounding region and nearly double South Sudan's total grid-connected electricity generating capacity, which is currently 100% dependent on oil imports.
