Pumped-hydro energy storage - cost estimates for a feasible system. Barry Brook 26,986 The power station, pumps, etc, were estimated by multiplying the original costs (from 1967) for
Such a mechanism is in line with the tariff guidelines and can be linked to or combined with the four-year tariff adjustment plan. Hydropower costs range from 3-5 cents per kWh, and wind and solar costs are between 5-7 cents per kWh. These cost structures align with Ethiopia's export tariffs to Kenya, which are priced at USD 6.5 cents per kWh.
In 2006, EEPCO adjusted the tariff to USD 0.07 per kWh. Due to devaluation by 2018, the tariff reached USD 0.0181 per kWh. In 2018, the average tariff was readjusted to Birr 2 per kWh (0.07 USD per kWh*). Due to the devaluation of Birr against USD, the average electricity tariff is currently 0.03 USD per kWh** High Voltage Industry Tariff.
These cost structures align with Ethiopia's export tariffs to Kenya, which are priced at USD 6.5 cents per kWh. Currently, there are practically no roof-top solar PV systems in Ethiopia. With the planned increase in the tariff, many households and businesses may find it attractive with small individual solar PV sys-tems.
The Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) and Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) have struggled with outdated infrastructure, frequent power outages, and high losses, further limiting access.
The growing adoption of EVs will affect Ethiopia’s energy sector, particularly in terms of electricity demand and infrastructure development. A stable and sufficient power supply, combined with a well-planned and accessible charging network, is essen-tial to ensuring a smooth transition.
The share of so-lar in electricity generation reaches 17% in 2040. Ethiopia’s net electricity exports until 2036 will pri-marily be driven by large-scale hydropower invest-ments. However, net import of electricity is ex-pected from 2038, as the pace of demand growth in Ethiopia exceeds that of supply, in the least-cost development. See Figure 6.4.
