Beyond Hydropower: Ethiopia’s New Nuclear Energy Journey and the Promise of Prosperity
Ethiopia is emerging as a continental leader in energy development under the current administration by expanding its power generation portfolio beyond hydropower. Through investments in hydropower, wind, geothermal, and solar energy, the country is working to balance growing electricity demand with diversified energy sources.
From the Gibe I Hydropower Plant to the Koysha Hydropower Project, as well as major infrastructure ranging from Aba Samuel to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), these projects have become vital pillars of Ethiopia’s economy by supporting communities and powering productive industries.
