1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Climate change is rapidly becoming one of the most important policy issues worldwide and it’s no
different for Sudan. With increasing temperatures and higher electrification rate, the demand for air
conditioning, refrigeration, and lighting will steadily increase. As a member party to the Paris
Agreement, Sudan also has an obligation to reach climate targets, i.e., net GHG neutrality latest by
the middle of this century. This goal can be reached through its increasing ambition and setting
specific sector goals within Sudan’s Nationally Determined Contributions, NDCs (ratcheting up
mechanism).
The country saving assessment for Sudan released in October 2020 by United for Efficiency (U4E), a
United Nations Environment Program initiative, estimated the annual electricity savings by 2030 from
minimum ambition scenario of energy efficiency policies on lighting, cooling, industrial motors and
distribution transformers at two terawatt hours (TWh).
According to the World Bank report of September 2020 (P175040), the Sudanese population is
growing at 2.4 percent per year, increasing to 56 million by 2031 from 40 million in 2019. The number
of households with access to electricity is 2.2 million while 4.5 million households still do not have
access to electricity. This highlights the importance to implement highly efficient technologies,
reducing the overall increase in energy demand as well as ensuring that available energy serves as
many households as possible. This national goal is the key element of this “Energy Efficiency Strategy”
(EES) report for Sudan and includes the following six main parts:
the market study, performed in the fourth quarter of 2020, aimed to better understand the
stock of appliances’ and their technical and performance characteristics,
a proposal for a MEPS and Labels regulation based on the survey results and the regional
and international best practices,
a proposed Monitoring, Enforcement and Verification (MEV) process,
the financing approach to support the introduction of energy-efficient appliances through
the enforcement of a MEPS and Labels system.
a proposal for the integration of the EES into Sudan’s NDC, and
strategy recommendations for a timely migration towards energy efficient market in Sudan.
The first element of this report is the sectors’ assessment which is based on a market analysis,
collecting technical knowledge from models on sale. The collected knowledge was then clustered
according to capacity and analysed for frequency distribution of energy efficiency levels. Key findings
related to energy demand and resulting Green House Gas (GHG) emissions
