Ethiopia Power Energy East Africa Expo 2026 brings together global manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and decision-makers from the power, electrical, electrical engineering, renewable energy, and infrastructure sectors. The event serves as a powerful platform for international companies to connect with Ethiopia’s rapidly expanding energy market — one of the most promising destinations in East Africa.
The exhibition promotes cooperation between Ethiopia, the East African region, and the global power industry by enabling business networking, product showcases, and knowledge exchange in the fields of renewable energy, power generation, electrical equipment, transmission & distribution, and industrial technologies.
Ethiopia is one of Africa’s fastest-growing economies and a rising hub for renewable energy development. With vast natural resources, expanding infrastructure, and strong government backing
Ethiopia generates most of its power from hydropower but is rapidly diversifying into solar and wind to meet rising demand. With industrialization, urban growth, and economic expansion
Ethiopia has one of the cleanest power grids in the world. Currently, Ethiopia has approximately 5,250 MW of installed generation capacity with plans to increase its power generation capacity to 17,000 MW in 10 years
For the past few years, the Government of Ethiopia (GOE) has been gradually increasing electricity access for its population by expanding its transmission network and encouraging power generation through public-private partnerships
In February 2025, the Ethiopian government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the African Trade Insurance Agency (ATIDI) to attract foreign investment in renewable energy.
The MoU aims to support Independent Power Producers and Public-Private Partnerships by reducing financial risks. The MoU is part of Ethiopia’s strategy to diversify its hydropower-heavy energy
