Ethiopia has earned more than 101 million US dollars from leather exports in just the last eleven months announced the Leather Industry Development Institute.

The revenue was earned from the export of leather products to Asia, African and European countries as well as the United States said Berhanu Serjebo, Director of the Corporate Communication Director with the LIDI.

The sum earned from the sector in the reporting period is close to the 104 million US dollars generated in the previous financial year.

Ethiopia has generated 7,668GWh (gigawatt-hours) of electricity during the first months of the Ethiopian fiscal year that started on July 8, 2021, Ethiopia Electric Power (EEP) related, showing a two percent decline compared to the same period of the previous year.

The decline in two percent, EEP noted during its assessment of its six-month performance, has to do with the conflict in northern Ethiopia, which made it difficult to get data from Tekeze Hydropower Station and Ashegoda Windfarm, which are located in the conflict area. 

Regardless, EEP pointed out, it has achieved 84.4 percent of its power generation target during the period.

Out of the total 7,668GWh power generated, hydropower contributed the lion's share of 7,372 GWh, followed by 271 GWh from wind, and 25 GWh from geothermal sources, EEP indicated.
