In January 2020, the number of mobile connections in Sudan was equivalent to 76% of the total population. This number increased by 2.3 million (+7.4%) from January 2019.
Telecommunications in South Sudan includes fixed and mobile telephones, the Internet, radio, and television. Radio: Radio is the main source of news and information in South Sudan.
Since the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005, over 30 FM radio stations have been set up across the country with the encouragement of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) run government. Radio networks and stations are run and funded by Government, Churches, community organizations, international NGOs and private businesses.

Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949. In 2011-2015, it underwent a reconstruction that converted it into a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station. In recent decades, renewable energy efforts in Liechtenstein have also branched out into solar energy production.
Liechtenstein has used hydroelectric power stations since the 1920s as its primary source of domestic energy production. By 2018, the country had 12 hydroelectric power stations in operation (4 conventional/pumped-storage and 8 fresh water power stations). Hydroelectric power production accounted for roughly 18 - 19% of domestic needs.
Lawena Power Station is the oldest in the country, opened in 1927. The power station underwent reconstructions in 1946 and 1987. Today, it also includes a small museum on the history of electricity production in Liechtenstein. Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949.
Liechtenstein's national power company is Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke (LKW, Liechtenstein Power Stations), which operates the country's existing power stations, maintains the electric grid and provides related services. In 2010, the country's domestic electricity production amounted to 80,105 MWh.

Energy in Paraguay is primarily sourced from hydropower, with pivotal projects like the Itaipu Dam, one of the world's largest hydroelectric facilities. This reliance underscores the need for a robust infrastructure, including efficient transmission networks and distribution systems, to leverage the country's renewable resources fully.
Solar energy, in particular, is seen as a vital addition, taking advantage of Paraguay’s abundant sunlight to reduce pressure on its hydropower resources. The government also plans to harness bioenergy through biomass and biogases, tapping into organic waste and agricultural byproducts as fuel sources.
The policy is expected to enhance Paraguay’s energy resilience, foster innovation, and contribute to global sustainability goals. Paraguay has long been known for its reliance on renewable energy. Nearly 100% of its electricity is generated from hydropower, mainly through the Itaipu and Yacyretá dams.
