How much energy does Ethiopia use?

The review shows that energy supply and consumption in Ethiopia are dominated by bioenergy (88%) and by households (88%), respectively. Electricity barely accounts for 3% of the total energy supply although its generation has increased by more than four times between 2004/05 and 2018/19.

Are electric vehicles a viable alternative to fuel imports in Ethiopia?

Rapid adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is reduc-ing reliance on costly fuel imports while leveraging Ethiopia’s renewable energy resources. Ethiopia has vast, largely untapped solar and wind resources, along with hydropower projects with strong economic potential.

Does Ethiopia have a stable electricity supply?

In recent years, Ethiopia's power system has faced increasing challenges in maintaining a stable elec-tricity supply. Frequent power interruptions have several negative consequences, such as: Disruptions in production and delays. Limited benefits for end-users who rely on a stable electricity supply.

How much electricity does Ethiopia export a year?

Foreign (or export) demand for electricity is a recent energy demand sector . Fig. 3 shows, between 2012/13 and 2018/19, Ethiopia exported an average of 895 GWh electricity per year . Electricity export is forecasted to reach to 35,303 GWh per year by 2037 . Fig. 3. Forecasted electricity export sales in Ethiopia .

What is the share of electricity in Ethiopia?

It is shared among transport (54%), industry (31%), agriculture (4%), residential (2%), and services (2%). The electric power generation has grown by more than four times between 2004/05 and 2018/19 . Fig. 2 depicts that hydropower continues to dominate the Ethiopian power system.

How much electricity does Ethiopia produce in 2040?

The share of so-lar in electricity generation reaches 17% in 2040. Ethiopia’s net electricity exports until 2036 will pri-marily be driven by large-scale hydropower invest-ments. However, net import of electricity is ex-pected from 2038, as the pace of demand growth in Ethiopia exceeds that of supply, in the least-cost development. See Figure 6.4.
