Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) announced that the country has generated 404 megawatts of electricity from wind power. EEP Corporate Communications Director Moges Mekonen told the Ethiopian Press Agency (EPA) that the country has reached the total production of 404 MW electric power from Wind power. He noted that many citizens are getting electricity from the wind power plants that have been built so far. Accordingly, the combined generating capacity of Ashegoda, Adama I and II, and Aysha II wind power plants has reached 404 megawatts, he added. Wind power is more reliable and cost-effective than hydro-power generation since the water level of dams decreases during dry seasons, he noted.
