A 33 million birr study carried out by Italian consultants Ben and Company had proposed the four way split into Power Distribution, General Administration, Utility Management, and Hydroelectric Power Dams.
It was planned that that the split into four different entities, that was to commence as of last November, would make the operations of EEPCo more efficient.
The Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation is working to address the persistently increasing demand for power in Ethiopia announced Miheret Debebe Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation.
It is expected that electric coverage in Ethiopia will reach 75% in five years when the country is able to generate 8000-10000 MW he said.
The completion of projects initiated to increase the capacity of the nation to generate more electric power will allow Ethiopia to export power to neighboring countries according to Miheret.
