Discover how this technology aligns with Ethiopia''s Vision 2035 and why EK SOLAR leads in tailored energy storage solutions.

Why Ethiopia Needs Advanced Energy Storage

With electricity demand growing at 11% annually (Ethiopian Energy Authority, 2023), the country faces unique challenges:

• 42% of industries report productivity losses due to power fluctuations
• Solar potential of 5-7 kWh/m²/day remains underutilized
• Grid infrastructure requires $2.1 billion investment by 2030

"Super capacitors act like financial reserves for energy systems – ready to deploy power within milliseconds when needed most." – Dr. Alemayehu Teka, Addis Ababa Energy Institute
