The African Development Fund (ADF) is helping Eritrea's government to develop a 30 MW solar plant in Dekemhare, in the central part of the African country. The ADF is currently seeking consultants for the project through a tender. https://www.afdb.org/en/documents/spn-e ... w-solar-pv

The project will include an unspecified amount of battery storage and a 66 kV transmission line. The government chose the proposed location for its relatively cool temperature, the elevation, and the presence of existing infrastructure that could connect the array to the national grid. Prospective consultants have until Feb. 23 to submit their proposals.

The Eritrea National Energy Policy, which was issued in 2018, aims to increase the electrification rate across the country. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Eritrea had just 24 MW of installed PV capacity at the end of 2021.

I opened my windows to get fresh air, suddenly I hear loudspeakers from God knows where and it's playing the song Sawa by wedi- Tukhul, here in Meqele.

Since we don't have the capacity to change the gov't in Eritrea we managed to get full US support, still, we couldn't succeed.

MICHELLE GAVIN, the author of this article is a former ambassador & a Senior Fellow at @CFR_org & given the presence of revolving doors b/n US govt & such organizations, is it safe 2 assume the US is actively planning for a coup by subversive activities in Ethiopia?
