Analysis# Sudan Renewable Energy Consumption
Sudan derived 61% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources in 2021, reflecting a significant decline from its 1990 baseline. The country peaked at 85.6% renewable consumption in 1993 but has experienced a net loss of 16.8 percentage points over the three-decade period. Current levels remain above the all-time low of 58.9% recorded in 2016, though well below historical highs.
The steepest drop occurred between 1993 and 2016, with renewable energy's share falling 26.7 percentage points. Since hitting that low point, Sudan's renewable consumption has stabilized in the 59–63% range. The 2020 uptick to 62.6% suggests modest recovery potential, though the 2021 figure of 61% indicates volatility persists. Sudan's renewable energy trajectory reflects broader shifts in energy infrastructure and fuel mix rather than a consistent directional trend.
