COUNTRY PROFILE
8

South Sudan, officially the Republic of South Sudan and previously

known as Southern Sudan, is a landlocked country in east-central
Africa that is part of the United Nations sub-region of Eastern
Africa. Its current capital is Juba, which is also its largest city.
South Sudan is divided into ten states, which correspond to three
historical regions: Bahr el Ghazal, Equatoria, and Greater Upper
Nile.
The region contains many natural resources such as petroleum,
iron ore, copper, chromium ore, zinc, tungsten, mica, silver, gold,
diamonds, hardwoods, limestone and hydropower.
Oil revenues constitute more than 98% of the government of South
Sudan's budget according to the southern government's Ministry of
Finance and Economic Planning and this has amounted to more
than $8 billion in revenue since the signing of the peace
agreement.
Country has two limestone's deposits in Yombio and and Kapoeta
near capital city of Juba near the border cities of Kenya and
Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Govt. of South Sudan is

POWER SCENARIO
9

South Sudan is the newest nation of Africa currently facing the

huge electricity in the country.
Southern Sudan is divided in 10 states with only 3 of the state
capitals (Juba, Malakal and Wau) having decentralized
generation with localized distribution network. It is rich in
resource potential such as hydro, solar and biomass, but
severely impacted by the effects of a civil war. As a
consequence, the region has poor infrastructure and its energy
needs are predominantly met by biomass. The percentage of
the population with access to electricity is very low, currently
only about 1% and most of these consumers are in Juba. The
total existing generation facilities consist of about 25 MW of
thermal capacity.
The GOSS established Southern Sudan Electricity Corporation
(SSEC) as a subsidiary of the Ministry of Energy and Mining
(MEM) and mandated it to be responsible for generation,
transmission, distribution and sales of electrical energy to
consumers in Juba, Malakal and Wau.

ENERGY PLANTATION - OVERVIEW

17

The biomass power projects are designed to operate on biomass. The feedstock
proposed for the biomass power plants by nature has following risks

Dependence on rainfall and other natural factors

Low density & gross calorific value requiring very high volume of feed to be
handled.

Availability of crop residue as feed-stock for limited period during harvest

period

Uncontrolled pricing of feedstock

To mitigate the above risk and complete dependency on the Agricultural waste,
Energy crops are the alternate source of Feed Stock. An alternative reduce the
above risk is to develop special plant species that can be grown in Cultivable
Waste Land and Fallow Land. These wastelands can be developed in a variety
of ways designed to meet the needs of South Sudan economy -Biomass energy
plantations for fast-growing trees crops to generate electricity on marginal waste
land.

ENERGY PLANTATION - OVERVIEW

18

Energy crop trees are fast growing species of trees such as

cottonwoods, willows, and eucalyptus, which re-grow (called
coppice) from their stump after harvest. Because of their fast
growth and ability to coppice, these tree species can be repeatedly
harvested on short crop rotations of every year without having to
replant. In fact, the fastest growth (and highest crop yields per
acre) will occur after the trees are first harvested, since their root
system will be already established. This ability of tree energy crops
to coppice provides sustainable renewable energy option.

The viable, employment-oriented program for production of

biomass fuels for electric power on huge extent of degraded
wastelands is established fact today. In combination, these
programs generate additional rural employment opportunities,
while creating additional rural income and environmental pollution.
