The network connects and empowers Ethiopian women working in the energy sector with the aim of promoting greater visibility, networking opportunities, mentoring, and professional connections between its 80 plus members.
Hossana video production. Megawatts and connections improving lives With support from Power Africa, as a result of assistance provided to host country governments and the private sector, energy customers in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria gained access to new or improved electricity.
A Wind turbine at sunset. Hilawe Lakew, ERG. This will generate MW of electricity in Ethiopia. Rekik Bekele visits Ajere, Ethiopia to promote solar energy. The GOE is also working with the private sector to implement the Corbetti and Tulu Moye geothermal projects with over 1, MW of combined generation capacity.
This facility has the capacity to consume , tons of trash per year. The GOE has prioritized construction of the GERD, which is intended to serve as an engine for industrialization, economic development, and hard currency earnings through the export of electricity. There is a plan to increase power exports to Djibouti up to MW due to a growing demand in the region.
Construction of an Ethio-Kenya transmission line is expected to be completed in late The total transmission line length has reached km. This will increase the total transmission line length to km in two years. However, over half of the on-grid consumers do not have a formal connection, 3.
EEP has developed procurement processes to select contractors and is awarding projects using a competitive bidding process. Under the Global Procurement Initiative, the U. In February , Ethiopia enacted a proclamation that will regulate PPP arrangements, in an effort to attract investment and in recognition that the private sector is essential to supporting the country's economic growth and improving the quality of public services, particularly in infrastructure.
IFC plans to provide both financial and technical supports for these projects, and has recently expanded Scaling Solar to cover the remaining six solar projects on the approved PPP list. These advantages, however, stand in contrast to the realities on the ground.
About 70 percent of the population in Ethiopia live without electricity. The lack of power also impacts basic services — only 24 percent of primary schools and 30 percent of health clinics have access to electricity. This discrepancy — between abundant resources and unmet needs — points to the need for a radical new approach. To achieve this, the NEP takes a coordinated approach combining both grid and off-grid solutions, with a focus on last-mile service delivery to consumers.
By , the plan is for 65 percent of the population to have electricity through the grid, and the other 35 percent through off-grid technologies - stand-alone solar systems and mini-grids. Another priority will be providing reliable electricity to schools and health centers.
