Nimesoma hii lastweek. Interesting, very interesting!! Halafu hawa wanatumia tu potential ya maji, bado hawajaangalia utumiaji potential gesi waliyonayo kibao.
Kampala, Uganda - Ethiopia plans to sell electricity to East African states starting with Kenya and Uganda, according to Ethiopia's Second Deputy Prime Minister.
Ethiopia is currently over 2,000 megawatts of electricity. By 2015, the Ethiopia Electric Power Corporation will produce 5,250 megawatts and have installed capacity of 20,000 MW in 20 years.
The Deputy Prime minister who is also the Minister for Foreign Affairs Mr. Ato Hailemariam Desalegn was in Kampala to sign the Ethio-Uganda Joint Ministerial Commission in Kampala Uganda on July 22 with his counterpart, Mr. Sam Kutesa.
Mr. Desalegn told East African Business Week in an exclusive interview, that Ethiopia had already connected the Kenyans on the grid under a power sale agreement. "We have reached Kenya on the main grid to be completed in three to four years. The project is financed by the African Development bank (ADB)," he said.

2 Gigawatt for a country (Ethiopia) with a population of about 80 Million and you are talking about exporting electricity, this is not serious...Africa is doomed!

I've been to college with students from Ethiopia, and even dated some Eritrean female back in the day, and I can tell you, Wahabeshi on average are smarter than Bantus. Heck, even Somalis have higher IQs than Bantus.

I see your point (the ratio of what is produced in relation to the population may just exceed the one for Tanzania), but they are progressing in comparison to Tanzania, also note, these guys have got massive potential of gas reserves.
- How are you calculating the usage of that electricity in relation to the population? Why is Addis Ababa more of an international hub than Dar es Salaam?
- Why does Mozambique (lower population than TZ) produce more electricity and manages to even export to South Africa (well, if not sabotaged)?
Truth is, exporting earns you more than internal market (if you can atleast satisfy the in-country industries prior to exporting).
Africa is doomed indeed, but it seems that Tanzania is more doomed than anyone else though.

1. You dissed the plans for Ethiopia's progression, which I was highlighting (subtly) in relation to Tanzania. By you dissing Africa (which you are right), you are indirectly comparing all African countries. Yet you go ahead and name drop RSA, while you know damn well that it is the work of the white man.Slow ya roll, where in my statement did i compared the two countries?
As i have above-mentioned this is not a beauty contest. However, the fact that Mozambique is exporting power to RSA does not mean that they have good policies either. With a population 4 times less than that of Ethiopia, Mozambique produces more electricity than Ethiopia too (Moz. 2.3 GigaWatt vs Ethio. 2.0 GigaWatt). The problem is only 12-13% of Mozambican have access to their electricity!!...
Why countries have to start exporting electricity when they have not fulfill their primary national obligation which is electricity for every Citizen or at least the majority?.
Take a leaf from RSA (with population of around 49 Million) but produces more than 35 GigaWatt of electricity this is about 2/3 of all African countries combined. RSA is still seeking new and diverse sources (including importing electricity) in order to ensure that every household is connected to this important resource.
I don't know where you come from but let me give you pathetic stats w.r.t household electricity connectivity rate in the Eastern African region (this is the lowest connected region in Africa):
1: Ethiopia 40%
2: Kenya 16% (20% urban areas and 12% rural areas)
3: Tanzania 14%
4: Uganda 10%
5: Rwanda 6%
6: Burundi 2%
Talking about massive Ethiopia's Natural Gas resources that can be used in the future to generate electricity? Tanzania too have the following proven reserves which can be used for the same purpose:
1: Natural Gas - 7.5 Trillion Cubic feet
2: Uranium Oxide - 100 Million Pounds
3: Coal - 324 Million metric Tones
The problem here is poor policies in many African countries.

3. Countries export electricity because that makes more money.
4. Tanzania has proven gas reserves yes, but only a couple of years ago, the mining companies up North were willing to tap the electricity that could be generated by Artumas. Once you acknowledge that, maybe then you can appreciate the little being done by Ethiopia and the likes. And maybe you can understand why Dar es Salaam does not pull international institutions
as well as Nairobi and Addis
Have you been to Iringa, Mbeya, Moshi, Njombe??????I tell you what, if we could have winter in Tanzania for 6 months, the solution for electricity would be found.
Is this the reason why they kill each other every day?
What is the story of the RSA that you know very well?

My question to you Mr./Miss Coherent, how do you sell electricity to a person in the village and at what price?
It was a question not a point, thanks for the good answer anyway....What do you mean by that? Americans kill each other every single day, so do Germans, Koreans, Japanese, Tanzanians and people in Papua New Guinea (who kill and eat each others brains out). So, what's exactly your point?
Please visit Eskom website to find out how many South African homes have been connected since the black government came into power...
What does 'rural electrification' mean to you sis?
Anyway if it is justifiable to export electricity to other countries before meeting your national needs...good for you!!!!
