NHPC has invited bids to set up 500 MW/1,000 MWh standalone battery energy storage systems (BESS) connected to the intrastate transmission system in Andhra Pradesh
Internal national security concerns continue to af-fect energy infrastructure projects. Conflicts in Su-dan, South Sudan, Yemen, and Somalia are delay-ing Ethiopia’s ability to strengthen energy cooperation with neighbouring countries and ex-port electricity.
Expanding electricity access is fundamental to eco-nomic development. While the current distribution grid covers only 25% of Ethiopia’s land area, 68% of the population resides less than 5 km from the grid. This highlights the potential to triple the number of household connections within the foot-print of the existing grid.
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.
The early deployment of large-scale hydropower at multiple sites in Ethiopia should be prioritised. In-vestments in hydropower serve as the key driver of electricity exports in the medium term, thereby providing a source of foreign currency.
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.
Figure 2.2: Illustration of the solar potential in Ethiopia and the required land area: A 108 km2 solar PV park (the small yel-low square placed in Somali region) would generate 18 TWh/year – the same as the current demand. In practice the area should be spread over the country. A similar generation from wind power would require 500 km2 area.
