The Juba Solar Power Station is a proposed 20 MW (27,000 hp) solar power plant in South Sudan. The solar farm is under development by a consortium comprising Elsewedy Electric Company of Egypt, Asunim Solar from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and I-kWh Company, an energy consultancy firm also based in the UAE.
The 20MW solar facility is capable of supplying power to approximately 16,000 households in Juba, offering a significant reduction in energy prices and enhancing grid stability. The BESS will store energy from the solar plant, providing on-demand power, stabilizing the grid, and ensuring consistent renewable energy reliability.
