On January 19, 2025, South Sudan's unity government inaugurated a 20-Megawatt solar plant in Gondokoro, Central Equatoria State. This initiative aims to promote green energy and reduce electricity costs in the region.
The Ministry of Energy and Dams, in collaboration with Ezra Group and the South Sudan Electricity Cooperation, also launched a 14 Megawatt Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) during the ceremony. The solar plant is expected to provide electricity to 16,000 households in Juba and contribute to lower tariffs.
