Ethiopia's Assela wind farm project began generating electricity for the first time on Thursday. The wind farm is now supplying the electricity generated from its three turbines to the national power grid, the Ministry of Finance says.
Although the north-eastern and eastern half of Ethiopia still have the maximum wind energy potential, and values can exceed 6.0 kWh m-2 towards the far eastern border and the southern Red Sea coast, values are typically lower than in January and April.
The wind farm project was launched after Ethiopia secured a €117.3 million loan from Denmark's Danske Bank nearly five years ago.. The Danish government also contributed a €28.7 million grant to the project expected to introduce Denmark's wind farm technology to Ethiopia.
The wind farm, located 150 km south of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, in the Oromia region, is set to generate enough electricity to meet the electricity needs of more than 140,000 Ethiopian homes. The project was fully financed by Denmark through a grant from IFU's Danida Sustainable Infrastructure Finance (DSIF) and a loan from Danske Bank.
The wind farm is now supplying the electricity generated from its three turbines to the national power grid, the Ministry of Finance says. The 100 MW power project, located 150 km south of Addis Ababa in the Oromia region, is being built by Siemens Gamesa.
The Danish government also contributed a €28.7 million grant to the project expected to introduce Denmark's wind farm technology to Ethiopia. “We are proud to contribute to enhancing Ethiopia's energy system,” Sune Krogstrup, Ambassador of Denmark to Ethiopia, said.
