A nationwide power outage has affected Ethiopia, plunging the country into darkness.
The state-owned Ethiopian Electric Utility has been working to restore power to affected areas, with partial success in some regions.
The cause of the outage remains unclear, but it highlights the challenges faced by Ethiopia’s power grid, particularly as the country seeks to expand its electricity generation capacity through projects like the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.
The power outage has disrupted essential services, including transportation, communication, and healthcare, impacting millions of people across the country.
As authorities work to fully restore power, it is crucial to address the underlying issues that contribute to such incidents and ensure a reliable and sustainable power supply for Ethiopia’s growing population.
