There is only one biomass-based thermal power plant in Ethiopia which is not attached to some large factory (therefore it is "simple" and not "cogenerational"). Located at the site of the main landfill (Koshe) of the capital Addis Ababa is the first waste-to-energy power plant of Ethiopia, Reppie waste-to-energy plant.

Where did the Ethiopian power system refinements come from?

Most entries came from the Ethiopian Power System Expansion Master Plan Study, EEP 2014 and the Ethiopian Geothermal Power System Master Plan, JICA 2015. A low number of refinements arrived from published tenders (as for the Upper Dabus power plant) and from feasibility studies that arrived after 2014 (as for the TAMS hydropower plant).

Can Ethiopia become a regional energy hub?

Beyond addressing domestic energy needs, the project positions Ethiopia to become a regional energy hub, fostering economic growth and cooperation. The GERD is being constructed to achieve an average annual energy production of about 15,760 GWH, featuring a 1,780 m long and 145 m high Roller Compacted Concrete dam.
