Electricity generation began in 1908 when a private company constructed the first power station at Burri al-Daralsa near . The modern system dates from 1925 with the establishment of the Sudan Light and Power Company, an enterprise financed and managed by British entrepreneurs but owned by the Condominium government. This company, acquired in full by the colonial government in 1952, was the precursor—through several name changes and reorganiz. [pdf]

Energy in Sudan describes energy and electricity production, consumption and imports in Sudan. The chief sources of energy in 2010 were wood and charcoal, hydroelectric power, and oil. Sudan is a net energy exporter. Primary energy use in Sudan was 179 TWh and 4 TWh per million persons in 2008.
As for Ethiopia, Sudan imports electricity at a price of 4.5 cents/kilowatt . In August 2021, the Minister of Energy and Petroleum declared that the Sudanese energy sector needed urgent maintenance and restructuring at a cost of $3 billion, another indicator of the dire financial needs of the sector .
Further, Sudan’s energy sector is currently subsidised by the government. Government subsidies to the sector totalled $667 million in 2019. This represents 13.5% of total government expenditures . Financial sustainability could be achieved by introducing gradual tariff adjustments.
There are three energy regulators for electricity, oil and mining, as follows: Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERA), Sudanese Petroleum Cooperation (SPC) and Public Geological Research Authority (PRA), respectively. The National Electricity Corporation (NEC) is the sole generator, transmitter and distributor of electric energy in Sudan.
Most of Sudan’s electricity generation comes from hydropower, and more than half of the Eastern African region’s total oil-based capacity is located in the country. Sudan is also contemplating scaling up projects on solar power in the coming years.

South Sudan (/ suːˈdɑːn, - ˈdæn /), officially the Republic of South Sudan, is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the north by Sudan; on the east by Ethiopia; on the south by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Kenya; and on the west by Central African Republic.
Parties that are least developed countries, such as South Sudan, may make their INC at their discretion. In 2003, Sudan submitted its INC which included the South Sudan region, as it had not yet gained independence. However, since then, no inventory for South Sudan has been separately prepared or submitted.
With more than 50 per cent of the population living below the national poverty line, a weak economy and ongoing political conflict, South Sudan also ranks among the most fragile states in the world.
South Sudan is an LDC and the world’s newest nation, which gained independence from Sudan in 2011. Although South Sudan has large base of natural resources other than oil, most of which are untapped, it remains relatively undeveloped and is characterized by a subsistence economy.
WFP has categorized most parts of South Sudan as having between poor and low resilience, considering a combination of access to a diversity of income and food sources, low inter-communal and political conflicts, relative low food insecurity levels, relatively good access to markets and economic centres.
South Sudan has a double challenge of dealing with more than 50 years of conflict and continued instability, along with huge development needs. It has vast and largely untapped natural resources and is the most oil-dependent country in the world, with oil accounting for almost the totality of exports, and around 60 per cent of its GDP.

With a power output of 30 megawatts, China’s Dinglun flywheel energy storage facility is now the biggest power station of its kind.. With a power output of 30 megawatts, China’s Dinglun flywheel energy storage facility is now the biggest power station of its kind.. The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station, with a capacity of 30 MW, is now the world’s largest flywheel energy storage project which is operational, surpassing previous records set by simi. . The world's largest compressed air energy storage station, the second phase of the Jintan Salt Cavern Compressed Air Energy Storage Project, officially broke ground on December 18, 2024 in Changzho. . In October 2021, Huawei and SEPCOIII, a subsidiary of PowerChina, were awarded the Saudi Red Sea New City Energy Storage project, the world’s largest energy storage project signed in 2022.. A compressed air energy storage (CAES) project in Hubei, China, has come online, with 300MW/1,500MWh of capacity. [pdf]
From ESS News China has connected to the grid its first large-scale standalone flywheel energy storage project in Shanxi Province’s city of Changzhi. The Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station broke ground in July last year.
Developing energy storage is an important step in China's transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, while mitigating the effect of new energy's randomness, volatility and intermittence on the grid and managing power supply and demand, he said.
According to Shu Yinbiao, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the utilization rate of new energy storage in China is not high, with the average utilization rate indexes for grid-side, user-side, and mandatory allocation of new energy storage projects reaching 38 percent, 65 percent and 17 percent, respectively.
The skyrocketing demand for energy storage solutions, driven by the need to integrate intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar into the power grid effectively, has led to a flurry of investments in energy storage projects across the country, the NEA said.
New energy storage, or energy storage using new technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, liquid flow batteries, compressed air and mechanical energy, is an important foundation for building a new power system in China, enjoying the advantages of quick response, flexible configuration and short construction periods.
It is the largest grid-connected CAES project of its size in the world, engineering firm China Energy Engineering Corporation claimed in its announcement of the project (or specifically, the first in the world of that scale). The project is owned by China Energy Construction Digital Group and State Grid Hubei Integrated Energy Services Co.
