Powering Peace (an initiative of Energy Peace Partners and Stimson Center) – will discuss South Sudan''s experience and potential next steps in leveraging renewables for cost and operational benefits, as well as a positive legacy from mission presence in host communities.
This report explores the potential for renewable energy to support local energy access and peacebuilding in South Sudan, the newest and least electrified country in the world, by leveraging the renewable energy transition of the UN peacekeeping mission (UNMISS) - the single largest generator and consumer of electricity in the country.
Dave Mozersky, President of Energy Peace Partners, which developed the P-REC concept, says it grew out of efforts to expand renewable energy in South Sudan, one of the most fragile and least electrified countries in the world.

South Sudan''s first Peace Renewable Energy Credit (P-REC) agreement will support the solar electrification of the Malakal Teaching Hospital, the only referral hospital for Unity, Jonglei and Upper Nile states in the country. The Malakal solar plant is a 700kW PV and battery system that was introduced in 2020 as a replacement for diesel
This report looks at the question of electricity access in relationship to South Sudan''s conflict and the unique options to help harness renewable energy as a tool for peace and development across the country.
Renewable energy offers tangible and immediate benefits that bear out over the long term. The cost of solar power in particular has dropped dramatically in recent years, and solar now is both a cheaper and a more consistent power source than alternatives in South Sudan. Solar panels can be easily scaled and can last for more than twenty years.
25 April 2023: Early in 2022, the first-ever Peace Renewable Energy Credit (P-REC) transaction in South Sudan was announced, executed by U.S.-based 3Degrees and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) with support from Energy Peace Partners (EPP). In the agreement, 3Degrees obtained the P-RECs generated from a 700kWp solar plant in
South Sudan has huge energy potential, from conventional to renewable energy resources, from which it can produce electricity (Bilali, 2020; Tiitmamer and Anai, 2018). However, the country remains

In the context of the civil war with no end in sight in South Sudan, this report outlines how a donor-led shift from the current total reliance on diesel to renewable energy can deliver short-term humanitarian cost savings while creating a longer-term building block for peace in the form of a clean energy infrastructure.

South Sudan: Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable
The generation of solar power reduces the carbon footprint of the Hub, but, beyond that, also points to the potential that solar power holds for the future of South Sudan. When an organization generates electricity through renewable energy – solar power being one of them – it generates "carbon credits".

Power Partners Group was established in 2019. Power Partners provides safe and profitable engineering and renewable energy solutions through its dynamic approach whilst building and maintaining strategic relationships with its clients. The Power Partners team has decades of combined experience in building and renewable energy services.
Powering Peace, a project of the Stimson Center and Energy Peace Partners, was created to identify opportunities for renewable energy within UN field missions and to address the links to longer-term goals in fragile states. Powering Peace works to modernize peace operations and foster new clean energy investment as a form of peacebuilding.
For Dr. Jude Koma, Juba County Coordinator for Health Link who manages Gurei health center with 16 other facilities in the State, the solarisation is a huge game changer for revolutionising health care services across South Sudan, especially

One possibility for South Sudan’s electricity sector is to work with the energy transition objectives of the United Nations (UN) Secretariat, which present new and unique opportunities to unlock a series of clean energy projects across the country. This approach is also a creative way to support peacebuilding.
When stability is achieved, smaller-scale systems could become a major component of a vibrant domestic and export clean energy economy. Renewable energy, particularly solar power, has the potential to be transformative in South Sudan for several reasons.
To enhance the sustainability of a solar initiative, and to ensure that South Sudanese benefit from the outset of a transition, new investment in renewable energy should be coupled with a significant commitment to fund local capacity building and training pro-grams in solar energy.
South Sudan’s energy sector is deeply embedded in the country’s conflict dynamics, from the economy’s near total dependence on oil production and the accompanying patronage systems to the reliance on imported diesel for access to electricity.
The war has destroyed South Sudan’s limited infrastructure, triggering an economic implosion. What electricity it has—and it is the least electrified country in the world—depends entirely on imported diesel to run generators.
US-funded humanitarian operations, as well as those of the United Nations and other international actors in the country, could make better use of their diminishing resources. A few but highly instructive NGOs and individual agencies in South Sudan use solar power successfully.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
