Ethiopia’s energy strategy is strongly anchored in hydropower, but long-term resilience depends on accelerating the development of solar and wind energy. To avoid overreliance on a single source, the government must fast-track grid integration and enhances private sector participation through Independent Power Producer (IPP) schemes.
The main source of electricity in Ethiopia is from hydropower, with 1850 MW installed. The power is distributed mainly through interconnected system (ICS), this is the main grid. A small part is distributed through self contained system (SCS), small mini grids ( Ministry of Water and Energy, 2012).
Ethiopia is rich in water and potentially could export part of their electrical energy to neighboring countries. As for most countries in the region, the energy markets are too small to benefit from economies of scale.
Ethiopia is experiencing increased energy consumption and demand. To meet these demands Ethiopia by providing sufficient and reliable power supply that meets international standards. This will be achieved by accelerating and completing the construction of hydroelectric power and other energy generation projects.
In the Netherlands the installed capacity is around 22GW, with around 9% coming from renewable sources in 2009 (CBS). The main source of electricity in Ethiopia is from hydropower, with 1850 MW installed. The power is distributed mainly through interconnected system (ICS), this is the main grid.
