- Once commissioned, the Aysha-1 Wind Project will be the largest wind farm in the Horn of Africa.
- The USD 620 million project is expected to generate 1,400GWh of clean energy annually, powering more than 4 million households.
- This project was officially launched during COP28 in Dubai, where a Letter of Award (LOA) was signed between the Ministry of Finance, Ethiopian Electric Power and AMEA Power.
AMEA Power has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Implementation Agreement (IA) with Ethiopian Electric Power for the development and operation of a 300MW wind energy project in Ethiopia.
The USD 620 million project, located in Aysha, Somali Region State, is expected to generate 1,400 GWh of clean energy annually, powering more than 4 million households and reducing carbon emissions by more than 690,000 tons per year. Furthermore, during the construction and operation phases, the project is expected to create more than 1,500 direct jobs. This initiative will contribute to Ethiopia’s ambitious renewable energy targets, and support the country’s economic growth and development.
