Technical FAQs 4

Why is energy important in Ethiopia?

Energy is one of the most significant sectors for Ethiopia’s economic growth and development and is expected to increase significantly in the medium run. Ethiopia has abundant renewable energy resources and has the potential to generate over 60,000 megawatts (MW) of electric power from hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal sources.

Why do Ethiopians need diesel generators?

In Ethiopia’s Debre Markos distribution network, frequent power outages, averaging over 800 h annually in the past 5 years, have necessitated the deployment of diesel generators to mitigate the impact on businesses and households.

How much energy does Ethiopia have?

Ethiopia has abundant renewable energy resources and has the potential to generate over 60,000 megawatts (MW) of electric power from hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal sources. Additionally, in 2022 the GOE certified the presence of seven trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves in the Ogaden Basin.

Does Ethiopia have a power shortage?

Ethiopia, a nation with significant economic potential and a growing population, has faced chronic power shortages that impact its development. The country’s electricity is predominantly generated through hydroelectric power, which, while renewable, presents challenges due to seasonal variability in rainfall and river flow.
