Ethiopia has always been relatively advanced in power development, and vigorously developing power has made Ethiopia the largest economic country in Africa in the spring. But in recent years, foreign exchange shortages and huge debts have caused Ethiopia's economy to slump, and Ethiopia has begun to notice the importance of electricity exports. Despite the spread of the global epidemic in early 2020, the country has overcome various difficulties and vigorously developed substations. Recently, China National Heavy Machinery won the bid to upgrade the Ethiopian medium-voltage transmission and distribution system, marking the country's significant progress in the development of electricity.
