A feasibility study completed earlier this year has received both technical and financial approval from the government.
No date for groundbreaking on the projects was given.
“This project represents a significant advance in our Ethiopian energy initiative and is now part of our comprehensive Energy Plan," says energy minister Alemayehu Tegenu.
"Given Ethiopia’s large hydro-electric generation capacity and now wind and geothermal power generation coming on-line, large scale solar fits nicely into our energy portfolio and will provide significant power generation capacity much faster than the other renewable technologies."
