Concept Project Information Document (PID) - Second Djibouti-Ethiopia Power System Interconnection Project - P173763

28 May 2020

The countries agreed on priority projects and programs that will constitute the initiative (requiring financing of up to $15 billion), which is being developed by the countries with support from the African Development Bank, the European Union and the World Bank. [...] The difference between the overall supply cost and the retail tariff covers transmission and distribution, commercial activities, taxes and EDD’s operational costs for maintenance and operation that are relatively high given the small size of the system and of the national electric utility. [...] Through the Sustainable Electrification Program, EDD is planning on extending their grid to the lagging interior regions of the country and connect the poorest populations of the country to the national grid, aiming to reach 70,000 customers by 2024. [...] The SCD and the Djibouti Vision 2035 identified energy as a paramount constraint to the economic development of the country and stressed the need to find sustainable solutions. [...] The proposed Project will also contribute to the pillar of the MENA Strategy aimed at (re)construction and recovery through an approach that brings together external partners, by structuring the transaction to leverage global resources from the HoA and the region’s infrastructure financing needs, especially in the context of the COVID19 epidemics.
