Can solar power transform Ethiopia's energy landscape?
Among these, solar energy emerges as a beacon of hope, poised to transform Ethiopia's energy landscape and drive socioeconomic development. Significantly, the country has relied heavily on hydropower, which accounts for more than 90% of its electricity generation.
Why should Ethiopia invest in solar energy?
As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Ethiopia is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality by . The deployment of solar energy systems not only helps mitigate climate change but also supports the country's broader sustainable development objectives, including poverty alleviation, and economic resilience.
What is the solar energy utilization status in Ethiopia?
There are also, ongoing solar energy utilization, like Metehara, in Oromia, gad in Somali and Dicheto in Afar regional states. Generally, solar radiation utilization status in Ethiopia is very low because, its’ installation material is imported from abroad and needs huge amounts of foreign currency.
How much solar PV is installed in Ethiopia?
Solar PV capacity in Ethiopia has almost tripled in the past five years. However, 14 MW of solar PV systems has been installed up to now, counting for 0.3% of the Nation’s total energy capacity. Ethiopia’s solar capacity is expected to increase in the coming years with the number of ongoing solar PV projects.
