Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) has launched a joint knowledge-sharing study program with the Government of the Republic of South Korea to modernise Ethiopia’s electricity tariff negotiation framework. Officials noted that roughly 46pc of the population still lacks access to electricity, highlighting the need to expand capacity while ensuring the sector’s financial sustainability. The initiative aims to update tariff procedures and strengthen institutional capacity to better harness the country’s green energy potential. The collaboration will facilitate knowledge transfer, drawing on South Korea’s experience in power sector reform and modernization. EEP will oversee the transition from the study phase to practical implementation. By aligning the country’s tariff negotiation framework with international standards, the program seeks to boost financial sustainability, attract private investment, and reduce sectoral risks.
