Power Transmission
Ethiopian Electric Power plays a crucial role in the country’s energy infrastructure, managing an extensive network of power transmission lines and substations. With a transmission line network spanning over 20,000 kilometers, the organization ensures the efficient and reliable transfer of electricity across vast distances. The voltage range of these transmission lines is impressive, varying from 132 kilovolts (KV) to 500 kilovolts (KV), highlighting the capability to handle substantial power loads. Notably, Ethiopia has also established a groundbreaking 500KV DC transmission line connecting Ethiopia and Kenya, fostering regional cooperation in the energy sector and promoting cross-border power exchange.
To support this extensive transmission network, Ethiopian Electric Power oversees 192 substations, strategically distributed throughout the country. These substations operate within a voltage range of 132 kV to 500 kV. Ethiopia’s investment in such comprehensive power transmission and substation infrastructure underscores its dedication to meeting the growing energy demands of the nation and contributing to the socio-economic development of the region.
All the intricate details of the extensive transmission lines and substations, including their specifications and geographical locations, are meticulously cataloged in a comprehensive table, underscoring Ethiopian Electric Power’s commitment to transparency and efficient management of its robust energy infrastructure.
