Issue 260 - 09 Aug 2013 | 1 minute read

Ethiopia and Djibouti have signed an agreement for a second power interconnection. The 230kV transmission line running from Semera in Ethiopia’s Afar region to Jaban in Djibouti will allow Djibouti to import between 35MW and 70MW, though the Addis Fortune said Djibouti was not expected to take more than 50MW. The existing 230kV line was commissioned in 2011 and supplies around 35MW.
