Ethiopia pilots mini-grids


Issue 395 - 28 Jun 2019 | 1 minute read

Ethiopia released the second iteration of its National Electrification Programme in March, a 216-page document setting out the government’s least-cost approach to reaching universal access to power by 2025. The plan envisages 65% of customers being on-grid and 35% off-grid. Off-grid would then be phased out by 2030, leaving only 4% of the population off-grid, to be replaced by grid extension, which the government expects to be the least-cost option for all households by 2025.
