- The solar plant generation capacity reaches an average of 25-28MWh per day.
- The Sudanese energy ministry financed the project.
The Alfashir project is the first mega-scale solar plant in Sudan. On days with clear weather, the generation capacity reaches over 31MWh with an average range of 25-28MWh per day, equivalent to saving seven tons of Genset fuel oil daily.
More often, the daily energy share of the plant reaches above 40%. On commissioning the 5MWp Alfashir Solar Power Plant, the project significantly reduced Genset fuel consumption and improved grid reliability.
The Sudanese energy ministry self-financed the project to demonstrate technical and financial viability and encourage private sector involvement. During construction, 100 jobs were created, and six permanent jobs were held post-commissioning. In addition, to achieve gender equality, about 20 women are involved in the solar panel cleaning process.
