All rural areas in Ethiopia have access to all or a combination of the above mentioned energy sources. In addition the micro grid could make use of modern technologies of electric power generation like electric storage devices and CHP's (Hartkopf & Erbato, 2011). Improving the power quality.
The main source of electricity in Ethiopia is from hydropower, with 1850 MW installed. The power is distributed mainly through interconnected system (ICS), this is the main grid. A small part is distributed through self contained system (SCS), small mini grids ( Ministry of Water and Energy, 2012).
Therefor it requires a legal framework to facilitate international cooperation (Eberhard & Shkarton, 2012). As widely known, the weaker the grid, the more worse the PQ. The Ethiopian grid and the generation capacity is expanded quickly in the last years and continues growing in the upcoming years.
The integration of the power systems of the members will enable Ethiopia to invest in the large hydropower resources it possesses, for export to the neighboring countries. Currently Ethiopia is forming interconnections with neighboring countries, like the Ethiopia-Kenya electricity highway with HVDC.
Ethiopia is experiencing increased energy consumption and demand. To meet these demands Ethiopia by providing sufficient and reliable power supply that meets international standards. This will be achieved by accelerating and completing the construction of hydroelectric power and other energy generation projects.
Energy is one of the essential components for development and in reducing poverty, which is one of Millennium Development Goals (MDG). The challenges in Ethiopia are common in many other countries in Africa, few households have access to modern energy (including electricity), poor reliability and power quality of the electrical grid.
