Ethiopian Electric Power said that 33.2 percent of the electricity generated in the fiscal year ended was from the Renaissance Dam.

It was reported that 93 percent of the electricity generated in the fiscal year was for domestic consumption and the remaining 7 percent was sold to foreign countries.

The institution said this in a statement to journalists regarding the performance of the 2017 fiscal year and the 2018 fiscal year plan.

It said that it generated 29,480 gigawatt hours of electricity in the fiscal year ended.

The institution said that this is more than it planned, saying that it had planned to produce 25,423 gigawatt hours in the fiscal year.

Ethiopian Electric Power CEO Engineer Ashebir Balcha said that it earned 75.4 billion birr from the sale of electricity.

Chief Executive Officer Engineer Ashebir Balcha explained that 33.2 percent of the generated power came from the Renaissance Dam, adding that 93 percent of the generated power was for domestic consumption and the remaining 7 percent was sold to foreign countries.

We heard from the institution that of the 93 percent of the power supplied to the country, 60 percent was sold to the Ethiopian Electricity Service, 27 percent to data mining, and 6 percent to industries.

Explaining that 7 percent of the total generated power was sold to foreign countries, the official said that 5 percent of the power supplied to foreign countries was sold to Kenya and 2 percent to Djibouti.

On the other hand, he also raised issues that he said were problematic for the Ethiopian Electric Power in the completed fiscal year.

The institution, which has been experiencing infrastructure theft for a long time, said it had suffered huge losses due to theft on 43 power transmission lines.

The lack of peace in various parts of the country is another problem that has prevented it from moving around and working as it pleases, he said.
