Sudan has 19 power plants in this atlas, with 2,798 MW of reported capacity. The largest listed plant is Merowe (1,250 MW, hydro; current status unverified). By number of records the most common technologies are oil, hydro and biomass. Grid operators listed here include Sudanese Electricity Transmission Company. Renewables supplied 79.7% of its electricity in 2024.
Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
