Danida Sustainable Infrastructure Finance (DSIF) - Ethiopia - Assela Wind Farm Project The project will provide affordable clean energy through construction of a 100MW wind farm, approximately 150 km south of Addis Ababa, delivering on average 330 GWh of electricity a year. The project will contribute to the Government of Ethiopia’s goal of increasing renewable energy generation capacity, diversifying the energy mix and increasing access to electricity for the Ethiopian population. The energy sector is based almost entirely on hydropower, making the country vulnerable to long periods of drought because of climate changes in the region. By introducing other green energy sources, the GoE wants to establish an energy mix that will sustain development. Besides the wind farm, the project includes technical assistance and training of staff.
