The wind farm is now supplying the electricity generated from its three turbines to the national power grid, the Ministry of Finance says. The 100 MW power project, located 150 km south of Addis Ababa in the Oromia region, is being built by Siemens Gamesa.
The 100 MW power project, located 150 km south of Addis Ababa in the Oromia region, is being built by Siemens Gamesa. It is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2025 with all of its 29 turbines going fully operational.
Ethiopia’s Assela wind farm project began generating electricity for the first time on Thursday. The wind farm is now supplying the electricity generated from its three turbines to the national power grid, the Ministry of Finance says.
The wind farm project was launched after Ethiopia secured a €117.3 million loan from Denmark’s Danske Bank nearly five years ago.. The Danish government also contributed a €28.7 million grant to the project expected to introduce Denmark’s wind farm technology to Ethiopia.
The Assela I wind power project involves the construction of a 100MW wind farm near Iteya, Oromia regional state, Ethiopia. The Assela I wind farm is expected to start operations in 2023.

The hydroelectric power plants account for nearly 90% of the total electricity generation in Ethiopia, while the country’s installed wind power capacity is estimated to be approximately 324MW. The Assela wind farm will be located near Iteya, approximately 150km southeast of Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
