Power blackout hits parts of Ethiopia, including capital
ADDIS ABABA, June 23 (Xinhua) -- A power blackout has struck parts of Ethiopia, including the national capital of Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian Electric Utility said on Monday. According to a press statement from the state utility firm, a technical fault in the main power grid has caused a power outage in parts of the East African country. "Following the measures taken by Ethiopian Electric Utility, the power supply has now been fully restored across all regions, including Addis Ababa," it added. In recent years, Ethiopia has been investing heavily in expanding its renewable energy production capacity, aiming to power its national development ambitions and foster energy interconnection among countries in the region. Earlier this year, Ethiopian President Taye Atske Selassie said the East African country, which currently supplies electricity to neighboring Djibouti, Kenya, and Sudan, is working with 14 African countries to facilitate regional electric energy integration.
