Ethiopia’s electricity coverage, which was only 8 percent 25 years back, has now reached 56%.
Ethiopia’s total electricity generation capacity, which was 370 megawatt 25 years ago, now increased by tenfold. .
The problems of power cuts are associated with lack of good governance and the government is working to irradiate the issue.
The construction of huge power projects is also underway to solve the problems.
To some extent, the problem will be addressed when Gibe III fully and Genale Dawa partially commence generating power soon.
Ethiopia has a potential to generate over 60,000 MW from hydroelectric, wind and geothermal sources.
