Ethiopia Jobs And Recruitment - Hydro Renewable Energy Sector


Overview - Ethiopia's Power Generation Industry.

Ethiopia is officially know as the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Ethiopia's neighbouring countries are Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, and Kenya. Like Botswana and Zambia Ethiopia is landlocked. With over 100 million people Ethiopia has the highest population for a landlocked country. It is the second largest populated country in Africa, trailing only Nigeria. Ethiopia's capital is Addis Ababa.


Ethiopia's power generation capacity comes mostly from hydro power generation. Although it has massive potential in hydro power generation only 10% of Ethiopia's population had electricity by 2009. Because of poverty demand for electricity inside Ethiopia is not that great but exporting electricity to neighbouring countries is a big plus for much needed income. The state-owned Ethiopian Electric Power Office, or EEPO overseas the current projects.
