Ethiopia experienced a widespread power outage on Saturday evening, affecting much of the country.
The blackout, which lasted nearly six hours, disrupted daily life, businesses, and essential services.
The Ethiopian Electric Power Authority attributed the outage to a system instability.
Engineers worked diligently to identify and rectify the issue, gradually restoring power to affected areas.
This is not the first time Ethiopia has faced significant power outages. A similar incident occurred in March 2024, highlighting the ongoing challenges in maintaining a reliable power supply.
As Ethiopia continues to invest in its power infrastructure, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, ensuring the stability and resilience of the power grid remains a critical priority.
