Renewable energy in Ethiopia

OverviewElectricity supplyHydropowerWind powerSolar PowerGeothermalBiofuelsExports

In 2011, over 96% of Ethiopia''s electricity was generated from hydropower. The country began a large program to expand electricity supply in the 2010s from 2,000 MW to 10,000 MW. This was to be done mainly with renewable sources. Wind and geothermal were included to offset seasonal differences in water levels. Ethiopia plans to export electricity to neighboring countries but the plan is contingent upon transmission lines being upgraded and expanded.
