Ethiopia's ambitions to become a major electricity exporter in Africa are gaining momentum. The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) announced plans to expand its reach, with Tanzania becoming the next recipient and South Africa targeted within the next five years. Ethiopia has been exporting electricity to Sudan and Djibouti for a decade. Other neighboring countries such as South Sudan are also requesting to import power from Ethiopia. The country started exporting power to Kenya in November 2022.
