Demand Forecast: Regional distribution Demand Evolution
Demand Evolution • Small industries: 80 % in Khatroum 20% in Central region • Large industries:
Demand Evolution Residential consumption per household 2017= 3825 kWh/year (World bank review report 2018) Source: World energy council. Source: World bank.
Demand Evolution Services: same as residential. Industrial and agricultural: historical growth rate. Note: The demand profile is assumed to be the same.
Resource Assessment: PV and Wind • Considerations: • Exclusion of agricultural areas. • Exclusion of protected areas. • Exclusion of water bodies. • The maximum distance between the installed system and the transmission grid is 25 km.

Scenarios definition 3 Scenarios Business As Usual (BAU) Limited Trade Free Trade Ethiopian side cap: 4 GW Reference scenario Domestic Production Egyptian side cap: 1 GW Electricity Imports: Egypt & Ethiopia Cost: 0.05 & 0.025 USD/kWh
Results and key findingsBAU Scenario Outcomes and Justifications OSeMOSYS tendency to curtail capacity in certain regions Lack of transmission lines modelling in OSeMOSYS 24 GW Total installed capacity 23 GW Total installed capacity Hourly time representation in Calliope Calliope Results shows higher capacity for wind and large hydropower 44 GW Snapshot logic followed by calliope Total installed capacity Total installed capacity in calliope is twice the capacity of other models
Results and key findingsFree Trade Scenario Outcomes and Justifications OSeMOSYS Imports are the least costly alternative Favors the less variable imports Calliope High Contribution of Solar and wind due to their falling costs Hypatia
Results and key findingsLimited Trade Scenario Conclusions: Seasonal time representation results in overestimation of VRE’s capacity Sudan untapped solar and wind potential can be of high importance to expand electricity supply Transmission lines modelling is of core importance for nodal analysis of electricity systems. natural gas reserve can be utilized for electricity supply instead of gas flaring at wells electricity imports specially from Ethiopia can reduce the cost of achieving universal electricity access at the compromise of energy security Capacity expansion logic provides a pathway unlike the snapshot logic that might results in over-estimated capacity
Limitations and future development Natural gas infrastructure costs CO2 as a decision-making parameter Limitations Future developments Grid expansion cost Solvers Demand forecasting
