A tilted electric pole near the Stadium area poses a safety hazard. A year ago, troubled Addis Abeba's electric grid system was set for substantial rehabilitation with 57 million dollars financed by the World Bank, as the Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) moved to secure a technical consultant and provide an engineering procurement contract for evaluation. The project was planned to decrease power wastage and disruptions in the capital by renovating around 2,000 transformers, 674Km transmission lines, including a new 19Km underground layout and the installation of three switching stations.
