Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed inaugurated four relevant industrial and renewable project in the Hawassa Industrial Park, in Awassa, a vibrant, rapidly modernizing city and the capital of the Sidama Region in central Ethiopia, located in the Great Rift Valley, known for its scenic lake Hawassa, and lush landscapes,this Ethiopian centre is a premier destination, offering a mix of urban life, boating, birdwatching, and a pleasant climate.
The projects including Toyo Phase 2, Origin, and Lumintech solar factories, alongside the HZ Gas Plant are set to significantly bolster Ethiopia industrial capacity and sustainable energy goals.
The new facilities include three solar panel factories and an industrial gases plant, all located within the same location. It is estimated that the solar factories will collectively generate 11.3 gigawatts of clean energy per year, significantly strengthening Ethiopia’s renewable energy production, according to information from Fana Media Corporation (FMC), a leading Ethiopian media organization formed through the merger odf the former Fana Broadcasting Corporate S.C. and Walta Media.
The gas plant will produce 900 tonnes of oxygen, 40.000 tonnes of nitrogen and 7 tonnes of hydrogen annually, contributing to the growing industrial gas supply chain in the African country.
Key details of the projects include:
• Solar Power Expansion: The Toyo Phase 2, Origin and Lumintech factories are projected to generate 11.3 gigawatts of clean energy annually, strengthening the nation’s renewable energy supply.
• Industrial Gas Output: The HZ Gas plant is expected to produce 900 tons of oxygen, 40.000 tons of nitrogen and 7 tons of hydrogen annually, supporting industrial processes.
• Economic Impact: The inauguration marks a major step in the expansion of the Hawasa Industrial Park, fostering job creation and supporting Ethiopia’s borader shift toward green energy and industrialization.
The initiative aims to improve energy security and strengthen Ethiopia’s position in renewable energy technology.
Before these four developments, the Prime Minister had already inaugurated the Assela wind farm, a renewable energy project that adds 100 MW to the national power grid to ensure a reliable supply and foster Ethiopia’s economic growth.
