The Government of Ethiopia (GoE), under its latest Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP), envisions transitioning from a developing country to a middle-income country by 2025. Ethiopia''s ability to achieve this ambitious goal in such key sectors as agriculture and industry is significantly constrained by current challenges in the power sector. Although Ethiopia is endowed with
With the National Electrification Program, Ethiopia plans to secure access to electricity for the entire country by 2025 . One method to increase grid stability is by having grid monitoring equipment in place by turning the grid into a smart grid with the use of sensors to help with the monitoring process. Currently, there are no smart grid
The Smart Grid Program develops and demonstrates smart grid measurement science advances to improve the efficiency, reliability, resilience, and sustainability of the nation''s electric grid. This NIST wide program is housed in the Engineering Laboratory and draws on the expertise of the Information Technology and Physical Measurement Laboratories.
ADDIS ABABA, March 29, 2021—The World Bank today approved a $500 million International Development Association (IDA)* credit to support Ethiopia''s goal of achieving universal electricity access by 2025.. Over the past decade, the Government of Ethiopia has made encouraging progress on its electrification program and expanded the grid network coverage to nearly 60

Daniel Gizaw highlighted Ethiopia''s growing energy demand and need for a smarter grid to improve reliability, efficiency, and customer service. Smart meters were discussed as the first step, though opinions differed on prioritizing the
National utility Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) has completed a pilot project of smart meters with plans for a wider rollout as part of a national smart grid system, local media report.. The state energy distributor reported that the smart meters – called IT-plus – had helped the utility to control demand by allowing EEU to disable power to specific commercial and
Ethiopia has connected 33% of its population to the national grid and 11% with off-grid solutions—mostly mini-grids and solar PV systems. Since 2012, wind farms have been installed to compensate for the shortfalls of hydroelectric power in the dry season, but wind energy remains marginal in the national energy mix [ 63 ].
Smart grid technologies promote the modernization of the electric grid, including the use of renewable and distributed energy resources, fewer greenhouse gas emissions, and lower operating costs. National Grid challenge awardees will be expected to enroll flexible capacity in the Building-to-Grid pilot program for a minimum of 3 years and

For Ethiopia, the residential demand of electricity level is very low to cover the minigrid costs, it is necessary to encourage commercial and agricultural activities to bridge the viability gap.
Furthermore, off-grid minigrid clusters exhibit significant potential for establishing localized electricity markets, thus optimizing energy balance and fostering economic sharing. It is noteworthy that while Ethiopia currently lacks minigrid cluster projects, there are plans in place for their development.
The implementation of minigrid projects is currently underway with support from the World Bank and collaboration with industrial partners. Within this initiative, 36 diesel-based minigrids have been established by the Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU), with approximately 35% of them boasting a capacity of 100 kW.
The landform and scattered population in Ethiopia, especially in rural areas, makes the centralized hydroelectric power plants challenging and costly ( Seboka, 2017 ). The construction of hybrid minigrids is considered as an effective method. Government of Ethiopia (GOE) is now diversifying the generation mix with other renewable sources.
To make minigrid projects successful in Africa, the optimal planning should not only include the techno-economic assessment, but also design effective business models to unlock the minigrid market.
As a rule, minigrid tariff is much higher than the central grid tariff. Typically, central grid retail tariff in Africa ranges from 0.04 to 0.23 EUR/kWh and Ethiopia has the cheapest grid tariff among Africa countries, while minigrid retail tariff in Africa is ranging from 0.1 to 1.2 EUR/kWh according to the technology (Implementing Partners. ).
