As energy is the backbone of industrial development, public investment has focused on developing the energy sector. In addition, to achieve its goal of increasing power generation capacity of Ethiopia four-fold by 2030, the government has called for the participation of the private sector.
The Outlook has been developed in close coopera-tion with all partners with strong commitment, openness and good discussions. It is the ambition that the Outlook in the same way can contribute to the development of the Ethiopian energy sector. 1. Executive Summary
Currently, all operational power plants in Ethiopia are under the state-owned EEP. Future investments in hydro, wind, solar, and geothermal projects is planned to have private ownership, with EEP acting as the primary electricity purchaser. Solar PV IPP auctions were announced in February 2025, with a total capacity of 225 MW in Gad and Weransso.
Conflicts in Su-dan, South Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia are delay-ing Ethiopia’s ability to strengthen energy cooperation with neighbouring countries and ex-port electricity. Power generation to the national grid is already 100% renewable, with hydropower as the domi-nant source.
References Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE) and Ethio-pian Electric Power (EEP) published the first Ethio-pian Energy Outlook in 2022. The outlook is meant as a review of the current energy policy. The pur-pose is not to give detailed recommendations – but more to give a solid foundation for a discus-sion of key issues within energy policy.
The growing adoption of EVs will affect Ethiopia’s energy sector, particularly in terms of electricity demand and infrastructure development. A stable and sufficient power supply, combined with a well-planned and accessible charging network, is essen-tial to ensuring a smooth transition.
