How will Addis Ababa improve the reliability of electricity supply?

Component 1: Network strengthening for improved reliability of supply in urban areas (US$100 million): This component will improve the reliability of supply in Addis Ababa and other key urban areas, where near universal access to electricity has been achieved, but deficiencies in availability, quality and reliability of supply remain a challenge.

Who will benefit from Addis Ababa component 1?

Component 1 will benefit urban households, businesses, industry, hospitals, international organizations, water supply system, government establishments and the general public (from improved public lighting) in the city of Addis Ababa as well as ten regional capitals and key zonal towns.

Are distributed energy systems good for the environment?

The consulted stakeholders agree that introduction of distributed energy systems especially solar home systems have benefited societies, businesses and environment (reducing deforestation and forest degradation) in the country specially areas that are far from the national grid.
