The substantial increase in power generation from variable renewable sources has led to renewed interest in energy storage. Pumped hydropower remains the only mature and widely-adopted utility
Also, almost 90% of Ethiopia''s green energy sources are covered by hydropower from different hydro dams and basins (see Figure 2) (Degefu et al., Citation 2015). The estimated available open areas suitable for hosting the FPV system from existing hydro dams and natural lakes are presented in Table 1.
The shares of RE sources are rising because of global warming concerns and the depletion of fossil fuels. However, due to its intermittent nature sustainable power supply depends on the proper energy mix and energy storage. By 2025, Ethiopia has

Existing hydro power plants with large reservoirs or pumped storage hydro power plants are suitable for this purpose. Lebanon has a fairly high
Ethiopia aims to diversify its energy sources with wind energy considered as a sustainable way to meet the increasing energy demands and complement its hydropower during dry seasons. Using wind power has multiple benefits, including being a renewable and clean energy source that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change
Ethiopian officials have said they are moving closer to commissioning the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) hydropower installation, part of 71 power projects included in a $40 billion
Beijing, China, 24 May 2018. A record 4,185 terawatt hours (TWh) in electricity was generated from hydropower last year, according to the 2018 Hydropower Status Report, published today.. The worldwide installed capacity of commissioned hydropower plants rose to 1,267 gigawatts (GW) in 2017, according to the flagship report of the International Hydropower Association (IHA).
Ethiopia is currently heavily reliant on hydropower; plans to increase capacity to 13.5 GW by 2040 would make Ethiopia the second-largest hydro producer in Africa. Providing electricity access to all and electrifying
Ethiopia has the second largest hydropower potential in Africa, with only 10% developed to date but nonetheless covering 90% of the nation''s electricity demand. Currently, installed capacity is about 4,330 MW of hydro, but more than 6,600 MW are under construction. World Energy Outlook, Hydropower & Dams World Atlas 2016: Author: Martin
The shares of RE sources are rising because of global warming concerns and the depletion of fossil fuels. However, due to its intermittent nature sustainable power supply depends on the

Large hydropower development in Ethiopia Hydropower is a renewable energy source that harnesses the energy of moving water from higher to lower elevations. Hydropower can provide a significant and consistent supply of electricity by utilizing an indigenous and renewable energy source and relying on well-established, low-carbon technology.
Although Ethiopia is one of the world''s fastest-growing economies, access to sustainable energy and cutting-edge clean energy technology remains a major concern.
Ethiopia is reportedly gearing up to begin testing hydropower generation at its flagship 5.2-GW Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), despite a News & Technology for the Global Energy Industry
Hence the country’s major development plans puts the hydropower as the major source of energy to support the growing energy demand but more importantly it is very crucial for the country’s plans to build a green economy. Hydroelectric power is the leading renewable energy source in the world and the case is no different in Ethiopia.
