Ethiopia has set an ambitious target to supply 100% of its domestic energy demand by 2025, combining on- and off-grid electrification, as well export demand to the East Africa Power Pool countries, through renewable energy by 2030. By the end of 2025, when all 29 turbines are fully operational, the wind farm will generate over 300 GWh of clean and. . Ethiopia possesses abundant wind resources that have the potential to revolutionize its energy sector by provid-ing reliable and sustainable electricity through wind power. The estimated wind resource of the country reaches 1,350 GW. Currently, only 44 % of Ethiopian residents have access to energy. Strategic investments in clean energy infrastructure are addressing domestic electricity needs while also supporting regional energy integration and. . The outlook consists of two sections: The Energy Landscape with a broad view on Ethiopian energy policy (chapter 2-5) and the Power Sector, with a model-based analyses of least-cost investments in expansion of the power system (chapter 6).

The US Department of Energy's EIA forecasts 32. 5 GW (AC) of utility-scale solar capacity and just over 18 GW of energy storage will be deployed in 2025. 7 GW of wind generation and 4. . Solar, wind, and batteries are set to supply virtually all net new US generating capacity in 2026, according to EIA data reviewed by the SUN DAY Campaign, continuing their strong 2025 growth. EIA's latest monthly “Electric Power Monthly” report (with data through November 30, 2025), once again. . We expect 63 gigawatts (GW) of new utility-scale electric-generating capacity to be added to the U. power grid in 2025 in our latest Preliminary Monthly Electric Generator Inventory report. This amount represents an almost 30% increase from 2024 when 48. In 2024, energy storage became one of the most dynamic and consequential forces shaping the U. Electricity demand growth sped up and solar generation rose more quickly than gas to help meet it.
