One of the most useful strategies Sudan can adopt from Morocco is the use of new legislation and new policies to restructure the energy sector. This recommended adjustment could encourage future investments targeting renewable production and attract more foreign and local investors to participate in renewable production projects.
Sudan could exploit its renewable resources by adopting a strategy similar to Egypt. Encouraging solar and wind power in the country's energy portfolio could help Sudan achieve its goal of energy self-sufficiency.
Meantime, Sudan can import cheap electricity from Egypt's Aswan Dam and Ethiopia's Renaissance Dam using current interconnections. Perhaps one day a developed RE system can enable Sudan to become an energy exporter. No potential conflict of interest was reported by the author (s).
