The 'Energy Mix' in Sudan

Before separation of Sudan and South Sudan
In 2004, Sudan’s energy consumption mix was dominated by oil, which made up 93% of the total, with the remainder coming from hydroelectricity (7%). Between 1984-2004, the share of oil in Sudan’s energy mix increased from 86% to 93%. Hydroelectricity consumption experienced a decrease, during the same time period, from 14 - 7%.

Post separation
According to market research company Research and Markets, despite various plans of the Sudanese government to increase electrification level and include renewables in the energy mix, results have largely yet to materialise in Sudan, where the main power utility, National Electricity Corporation of Sudan (NEC), is still fully state-owned. Despite having retained the majority of the power infrastructure part of the previously unified state, existing energy capacity is still low.
