Due to favorable conditions in Ethiopia (water power, wind power, photovoltaics, geothermal energy) for power generation, the country avoids exploiting and importing fossil fuels as much as possible. As Ethiopia is a quickly developing country, the demand for electricity grows by 30% each year. [1]
In 2018, access of electricity in Ethiopia reached 45%, and power generation, especially hydropower, tripled in a decade from about 850 MW to above 2,000 MW. [ 12 ] [ 13 ] According to the World Bank , [ 14 ] power outage of Ethiopia occurred 8.2 times in a typical month, each average duration of 5.8 hours.
A higher electrification means an increasing demand for electricity. In Ethiopia, the total demand for electrical power is increasing by ~30 % annually. [14] There is a race between available power generation capacities and the electrification and availability of electricity.
The Ethiopia-Kenya Electricity Highway, also funded by the World Bank, is one part of a wider project for the Eastern African Power Pool (EAPP), a group of 13 countries brought together to meet ...

Ethiopia plans 800 MW of wind power. [11] As the dry season is also the windy season, wind power is a good complement to hydropower. Ethiopia has benefitted from the creation and sustainment of two large wind power systems. In October 2013 the largest wind farm on the continent, the Adama plants, started capturing energy in Ethiopia.
