Ethiopian Electrical Power Market

O verview

Ethiopia is a landlocked country in the eastern Africa. It shares its boarder with Eritrea, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti. The total area is 1.1 million Km 2 . The population of Ethiopia is about 71.7 million (2006 population census).

Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo): Owns, manages and develops electricity generation, transmission and distribution facilities and retail to customers.

Ethiopian Electricity Agency (EEA): A Federal organ to regulate the activities of electricity suppliers for the supply of efficient, reliable and affordable electricity to the public.

Ministry of Mining & Energy: Responsible for the development of mining and Energy in the country including the power sector.

The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCO) is the national electricity utility, which is wholly government owned.

EEPCo manages and operates power-generating facilities, the national transmission and distribution grids, and is also responsible for the supply of electricity to more than 1,396,000 customers.

ETHIOPIAHydro Power Potential More than 45,000 MW

EEPCo - Establishment

The Ethiopian Electric Light and Power Authority (EELPA), which was established in 1956, after having undergone restructuring has been reorganized as the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo).

Supply SystemPresently the Corporation maintains two different power supply systems; namely, the Interconnected System (ICS), which is mainly supplied from hydropower plants, and the Self-Contained System (SCS), which consists of mini-hydropower plants and a number of isolated diesel generating units that are widely spread over the country.

Electrification Status

Number of electrified towns under EEPCo are 1658, 22% (at the end of 2004/05 which were 16%) of the population have access to electricity.

GENERATION

Inter Connected System (ICS)The ICS consists of 8 hydro, 13 diesels and one geothermal power plant with total installed capacity of 669.9 MW, 112.2 MW and 7.3 MW respectively. However, due to aging of the plants the dependable total capacity is only 721.1 MW. Over 96 % of the total generation in the country comes from the ICS.

Self Contained System (SCS)

The SCS consists of three small hydro power plants and several diesel power plants. Generation in this system is mainly by diesel power plants having an aggregate capacity of 31.7 MW. The contribution from the small hydropower plants is only 6.15 MW.

Power Projects in Ethiopia

by Kaleyesus Bekele, 07 June 2008

After the introduction of power shading, the sales of generators, lamps and candles have boomed.

Lamps are sold on the streets of Addis Baba and the sound of generators is heard in every nook

and corner. Unable to meet the growing electric power demand, coupled with the failed belg rains,

the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo) introduced a power rationing program almost

two month ago. According to EEPCo, the country’s power demand had increased by 15 percent. To

mitigate the problem officials of EEPCo and the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) are working

together day and night.

Currently, EEPCo’s maximum electric generating capacity is 814 MW, 80 percent of it hydro and 20

percent geothermal and thermal. However, due to various reasons, including water shortage, the

corporation generates only 600 to 700 MW. EEPCo is undertaking massive hydro-power projects.

Tekeze( 300 MW) Tekeze began in 2002. Tekeze, which is being constructed by a joint venture

between EEPCO and the China National Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering

Corporation, represents China’s largest joint venture in Africa to date, Gibe II (420 MW), Beles(460

MW), Gibe III (1870 MW) and Fincha Amenti Neshe (100MW).

The construction of Tekeze is expected to be finalized in August. The first unit will start generation

in September, if everything goes according to schedule. It is also to construct a wind turbine farm

which can generate 120 MW near Mekelle, Adama (Nazareth) and Gondar towns. The corporation

plans to construct more than ten hydropower plants. The feasibility study of Gibe IV has been

finalized. Gibe IV will have the capacity to generate 2000 MW.

Some 250 km south of Addis Ababa 2, 820 people from 30 countries of different profession are

working twenty four-hours on a 420 MW hydropower project, Gibe II. Two thousand and one

hundred of them are Ethiopians and 720 are expatriates. Engineers, geologists, construction

experts, technicians and other professionals are laboring to finalize the project.

After inaugurating the 184 MW Gibe I hydro-power plant in 2004 the Ethiopian Electric Power

Corporation launched the construction of Gibe II. The power project lies on an ever green mountain

and gorge in the Sokoru locality between Oromia and the Southern Nations, Nationalities and

Peoples Regional states. Because of the project, 80 km of asphalt and all-weather road that

connects the two regional states has been constructed.

The very idea of the project is to take the water that comes out of Gibe I power house and to divert

the natural course of the river and take it to Gibe II power house through a 25.8 km tunnel. The

Gibe II would use the water that come from from Gibe I so there is no need to build another dam.

Semegnew Bekele, project coordinator of Gilgel Gibe II, said that the water head difference would

be 490.m. “What makes Gibe II different is that it does not have its own dam. It uses the water that

comes from Gibe I,” Semegnew said. The water that comes out of the tunnel would run down a hill

in two big pipes what they call penstocks, into a power house where there are four turbines each of

which will have a capacity to generate 105 MW.

An agreement has been signed between EEPCo and the contractor, Salini Costruttori S.P.A, the

Italian construction company that built Gibe one dam, in April 2004 for all the civil work of Gibe II.

Work on the project commenced in June 2004. Under Salini, there are three specialist companies,

namely SELI, an Italian company, Voith Siemens, German company, and ATB, an Italian company.

SELI has been drilling and building the tunnel and Voith Siemens undertaking the hydro mechanical

work.

The total cost of the project is 5.2 billion birr. The Italian government provided a soft loan of 220

million euros for the hydro-power project and the European Investment Bank conferred 50 million

euros. The balance is covered by the Ethiopian government.

According to Semegnew, ninety percent the work has been finalized. The inlet, the penstock, and

power house have been built. The turbines and the power controlling machines are installed. Of the

25.8 km tunnel, 17.1 km has been drilled and built.

SELI uses two tunnel-boring machines (TBM), drilling on both side of the mountain. The TBM is 240

long and the drilling head’s diameter is seven meters. The drilling gear is made of diamond. The

plan was to drill both side of the mountain with TBM 1 and TBM 2 from west and east direction.

Work on the east side is progressing. TBM 2 drilled at least 13 km. However, TBM 1, which was

drilling the tunnel near the inlet, has encountered a serious problem.

The TBM 1 has been drilling the rocky mountain but after it drilled four km it came across an

unconsolidated layer (lose land). The drillers discovered a huge hole filled with mud that started to

flow to the tunnel. First they tried to excavate the mud and to cover the area with concrete. But all

was in vain. The machine was unable to proceed with the drilling because of the lose earth and the

mud inflow. Highly trained and experienced soil experts were hired to solve the problem but to no

avail. It has been a year since TBM 1 ceased operation. SELI dismantled the machine for

maintenance. It took SELI three months to dismantle the machine. And this week they will start to

assemble the machine. According to officials of SELI, it would take them a month to assemble the

machine.

Reliable sources told The Reporter that a decision has been made to divert the direction of the

tunnel to avoid the lose earth. So now the contractor, SELI, is preparing to resume the drilling in a

new direction. “The idea to use two TBMs was a clever decision by the management of EEPCo,”

says Semegnew. “Though one of the TBM ceased operation the other one is still running. If there

was only one it would have been worse,” he added.

The original plan was to finalize the construction this month. However, because of the problems this

could not be realized. Officials of EEPCo hope to complete the work by March next year. But some

experts fear that it could take a year to finalize the work on the project.

The water levels in the dams were lowest in the past several years. Getnet Bekele, head of Gilgel

Gibe I, told The Reporter that the country’s energy demand has shown a sharp increase. In 2004-

2005 Gibe I generated 798 million kWh, in 2005-2006 816 million kWh in 935 million kWh and in

eight months this year it generated 753 million kWh. Gibe I has three turbines with the capacity to



30


Reach New Heights


generate 184 MW. But due to shortage of water most of the time it only runs one of the generators.

However, since last week water run-offs started flowing to Gibe I dam. In the past few days the

water height has shown a five cm increase in every 24 hour. And last week the engineers working

at Gibe I and Gibe II were delighted with the coming of the run-offs.

“We appreciate the management of EEPCo, the board and Minster of MME for their leadership and

follow up,” said Semegnew.

With a population of eighty million, the majority of Ethiopians do not have access to

electricity. At the moment, access to electricity is about 22 percent. Only 1,800 towns are

electrified from a total of 7,000 rural towns and villages. The Ethiopian Electric Power

Corporation (EEPCo) has 1,396,000 customers, 40 percent of them in Addis Ababa. Ninety-

five percent of the customers are households and the rest are members of the industrial and

service sector. However, the industrial and service sector which accounts for only five

percent of the number of customers consumes 69 percent of the electric power.

Per-capita energy consumption is about 25 kWh per year, 500 kWh is considered the average

minimum level of consumption per capita for reasonable quality of life. As the majority of the

population does not have access to electricity bio-mass is widely used. The use of traditional fuel

such as firewood is aggravating soil erosion and habitat destruction.

The government has launched a universal electricity access program (UEAP) to be

implemented by EEPCo with the view to enhance the access to fifty percent within five

years. At the moment, EEPCo’s maximum electric generating capacity is 814 MW, 80 percent

hydro and 20 percent geothermal and thermal. However, because of various reasons,

including water shortage, the corporation generates only 600 to 700 MW. At the moment the

power deficit is 80 MW.

EEPCO General Manager Mihret Debebe said a combination of hydro, geothermal and wind power generation projects, in addition to distribution and transmission programs, would help Ethiopia achieve its ambitious goal.

The Horn of Africa country produces 800 megawatts of electricity from hydropower dams, reaching 19 percent of the population.

By 2010, the country will be able to generate more than 4,000 megawatts of power and install enough distribution lines and high voltage networks to provide access to electric power to more than 50 percent of the country's population, Mihret told reporters.

The construction of five hydropower dams was expected to be completed by 2010, Mihret said.

"The construction of geothermal and wind power generation in addition to hydropower dams during the next eight years will help achieve total electrification of the country by 2015," he added.

The cost of building the dams, which runs into billions of dollars, would be met by the state, the World Bank and loans from international financial institutions, Mihret said without giving any further details.
