This best practice example shows how humanitarian organisations can cut costs, reduce diesel dependence and keep critical operations running in remote, hard-to-reach locations. Drawing on Save the Children South Sudan’s solar energy transition across four field offices, it offers practical insights into planning, installing and scaling hybrid solar systems that improve energy reliability, reduce fuel use by 60–80% and lower emissions. Humanitarian teams can use it as an inspiring, real-world example of how renewable energy investments can strengthen operational resilience while advancing sustainability commitments.
