Signing the Contract for Outcome 2 Activities
The MWRIE/WEP contracted with Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) to conduct the project’s outcome 2 studies which includes:
- Formulation of Sudan long-term renewable energy policy and regulations.
- Development of secondary legislation relevant to wind energy for catalyzing private sector investment.
- Establishment of “one-stop shop” (OSS) in MWRIE for wind energy investors and developers.
The assignment is expected to be finished by July 2019.

Project Outcomes
Sudan currently has plans to develop utility-scale wind farms in three regions, Dongola (100MW) in the North, Nyala (20MW) in the West and the Red Sea coastal region (180MW). The project has four outcomes:
Implementation
Support the implementation of the first wind farm in Sudan in Dongola which will align the wind farm ...
Policy & Regulatory
The project will also establish the policy and regulatory frameworks for encouraging private...
Resource Mapping
Wind Resource mapping to produce a wind map for Sudan with the main focus on target areas of the Red Sea coast.
Documentation
Documentation and sharing of lessons learned is an integral part of the project implementation process which aims at learning.

ABOUT
Who We Are
About Us
This is a UNDP-implemented, GEF-financed initiative designed to support removal of barriers to the adoption of utility-scale grid connected wind energy in Sudan.
This project will follow a system approach to integrate energy policy analysis within the broader developmental objectives and establish policy and regulatory frameworks for encouraging private investments in grid-connected wind energy. Sudan currently has plans to develop utility-scale wind farms in three regions, Dongola (100MW) in the North, Nyala (20MW) in the West and the Red Sea coastal region (180MW).
Project Timeline
Project Timeline
The project is expected to last 60 months. The project activities are implemented by an independent project management unit which is responsible for the annual and quarterly planning in line with the project document, implementation of the planned activities as per the agreed time schedule which is subject to prior approvals of project board.
Year 1
Establishment of project management system. Review of existing information on renewable energy standards, policies, and regulation and wind measurements. Identify gaps and means for addressing them. Review the status of the implementation of the pilot wind farm in Dongola Implement capacity development programs on wind resource mapping, development of policies and project management.
April 2015
Year 2

Words By Project Manager
The project achieved the outcomes activities. Final preparations are being made for the installation of the first wind turbine. The project achieved its goal of determining the path of generating clean energy and laying the scientific foundations for future continuation.
Hind Elamin Elnor
Project Manager
It is with great sorrow that we learn of the death of The National Project Manager – Mohammad Ali Hamid on June 9th, 2016 in a bus accident during his travel to Port-Sudan. He is a great loss not only to the Wind Energy Project but also to the entire Sudan. He made an outstanding contribution to the spread of the renewable energy field.
We extend our condolence to his family and Project Partners. May his soul rest in eternal peace and may Almighty give his family the strength to bear this irreplaceable loss.
We, on behalf of the project and project partners, express our grief and condolence to all who are bereaving over his death.
Our eyes are tearful. Our hearts are full of anguish, but we will only say what pleases our Lord. O, Mohammad! We are indeed grieved over your separation.
