The Status of Solar Energy Utilization and Development in Ethiopia
The analysis result of this research shows that increasing the participation of photovoltaic energy in the renewable energy market requires raising awareness regarding its
Ethiopia is a country with an aggressive plan to solely depend on clean Energy. This paper is about feasibility study of a 100MW PV power plant at Bati, Ethiopia. For the study RETScreen software is used, Using the RETScreen the benchmark analysis, emission analysis and financial analysis were made.
Study site In this research, the feasibility of solar photovoltaic water pumping system was studied selecting one potential site from three administrative regions of Ethiopia. The regions selected are Amhara, Oromia and Tigray regions.
Among these, solar energy emerges as a beacon of hope, poised to transform Ethiopia's energy landscape and drive socioeconomic development. Significantly, the country has relied heavily on hydropower, which accounts for more than 90% of its electricity generation.
However, despite all its available potential, the country's energy sector especially solar energy is still in its infancy stage. The main objective of this systematic review is to identify the present status of solar energy utilization and development in Ethiopia and any possible challenges that may hinder its' utilization and development.
She mentioned that the country's focus is on the solar energy sector, where Ethiopia is investing 300 million USD in a project aimed at generating 300 megawatts of solar energy. It does not only support the country's renewable energy goals but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability, she said.
It also found that the main applications of solar energy in Ethiopia are dominated by telecommunications, water pumping, public lighting, agriculture, water heating, and grain drying.}, year = {2023} AB - Ethiopia is endowed with abundant solar renewable energy resources, which can meet the ambitions of nationwide electrification.
