In a nutshell:
- Sudan suffers from several political and economic distortions that have hampered growth, and particularly the development of the energy infrastructure.
- There is generally a positive view of renewable energy among MSMEs and many show willingness to switch.
- Increased adoption of renewable energy among MSMEs is mainly hindered by financial constraints related to capital costs.
- A weak regulatory environment and political instability are the main obstacles to large scale renewable energy investment.
- The increase in adoption of renewable energy since conflict started is proving the benefits of decentralized systems and present an opportunity to incorporate renewable energy in post-conflict reconstruction of the energy infrastructure.
