Everybody from everywhere around the world readily takes part in the Great Green Legacy (GGL) Initiative of Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed to plant trees every year since over 5 years now. Today many foreigner are taking part in this grand idea of planting 600 Million Seedlings on a single day because they understand the real meaning of planting trees for the world. Ethiopia is now the record holder of planting that many trees on a single day in the world!

Impact!

Gimmickry! Legacies are not built by such antics. Claiming to have planted 33 billion trees is showing your stupidity! If you divide it by 110 million, then every Ethiopian must have planted 100 trees. Take care of the small things first! Look at how Ethiopian Airlines treats its passengers!

Title: GERD Powers 17% of Ethiopia's Electricity: A Big Step Forward

Addis Ababa, August 21, 2024 – Ethiopia is seeing significant changes in its energy sector, largely thanks to the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Over the last year, this dam has provided 17% of the electricity used across the country, marking a significant achievement for Ethiopia.
At a recent press conference, Engineer Ashebir Balcha, Ethiopian Electric Power's CEO (EEP) CEO, shared some important details. Ethiopia generated 20,522 gigawatt-hours of electricity last year, which was more than enough to keep the lights on at home and help neighboring countries with their energy needs.

The Numbers:
· GERD's Share: Even though only two turbines are currently running, GERD still supplies 17% of Ethiopia's electricity.
· Overall Production: Ethiopia produced 20,522 gigawatt-hours of electricity across all power plants. Gibe III led the way with 34%, and Tana Belese added 9.6%.
· Revenue: The energy sector earned 20 billion Birr, with $140 million coming from exports. This was a 16% increase from last year. However, due to a decrease in power sales to Sudan and Djibouti, revenue fell 26% short of expectations.

EEP isn't stopping here. The organization is working on five major power projects, including GERD, which are currently under construction. Together, these projects will add 7,242 megawatts to Ethiopia's energy supply, which is good news for everyone.
EEP has big plans for the following year. They're aiming to earn $300 million from energy exports. They've already started testing energy transmission to Tanzania, a step toward expanding Ethiopia's energy influence across Africa.

Ethiopia's Energy Mix:
· Hydropower is the backbone of Ethiopia's energy, making up 96% of the country's production.
· Wind and Waste: Wind energy contributes 3.3%, and waste-to-energy adds another 0.2%.

What's Next:
With more turbines set to start working and new projects on the horizon, Ethiopia is well on its way to becoming a significant energy exporter. The journey is just getting started, and Ethiopia is ready to shine.
