Ethiopia has achieved a landmark milestone in its energy sector, with total installed generation capacity now reaching 9,760 MW. This growth is a fundamental driver for our industrial sector and a cornerstone for regional economic integration.

Hydropower continues to provide 96% of our energy mix, led by the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). With a total capacity of 5,150 MW, GERD contributed an impressive 51% of total generation in the first half of EFY 2018. Key facilities like Gibe III (1,870 MW) and Beles (460 MW) further solidify this baseline.
Diversification & Innovation Beyond hydro, we are aggressively diversifying our portfolio:

Our roadmap to 17,000 MW is well underway. With the Koysha Hydropower Project (1,800 MW) and the increasing involvement of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in geothermal and wind, Ethiopia is not just meeting domestic demandโwe are cementing our role as the regional energy hub for East Africa.
