At present, the grid-based electricity situation in South Sudan is characterized by routine power outages and lack of efficiency in the distribution system . In fact, in 2020, 580 GWh or nearly 100 % of electricity was produced from oil and gas, and just 1 GWh from renewable sources .
The most commonly-used energy sources are biomass and petroleum products. Forests, animal wastes, agricultural residues, and sugar cane are all biomass resources in South Sudan. . The country's reliance on oil pervades all aspects of the economy, accounting for roughly 72 % of the 700 Ktoe total primary energy supply.
Despite having an abundance of energy resources, particularly fossil fuels, South Sudan struggles to give its citizens access to electricity. The long period of historical neglect of the region by the Sudanese government before independence and the recent conflict, is the primary cause of the current energy challenges.
In short, the South Sudanese scenario thus adds two additional factors to the energy trilemma- the resource curse and the need to consolidate power through national energy projects. In the rest of the article we discuss the case within the context of the post-conflict literature, while not losing sight of the unique aspects of the country.
