Ethiopian Edan Power and China’s Southern Power Grid Technology (CSGT) have signed a strategic, exclusive partnership to develop a "Green Tech" hub. The agreement was signed on January 26, 2026, by Hamde Ebrahim for Edan Power and Jiang Junpeng, General Manager of CSGT’s International Development Department, in the presence of Bayissa Bedada (PhD), State Minister of Innovation & Technology. Edan Power Group, an electro-mechanical engineering and manufacturing company, supplies power generation equipment, water pumping systems, agricultural machinery, solar solutions, and electrical control systems. Under the agreement, Edan Power will work with CSGT, in coordination with Ethiopia Electric Utility (EEU), to generate jobs across engineering, manufacturing, and local supply chains. The partnership will roll out in three phases: technology transfer and maintenance training, local assembly starting in 2028, and full-scale manufacturing with an export focus. The deal sets a framework for energy cooperation built on technological sovereignty, with the aim of enabling local production of green energy solutions.
