Construction for the Adama II Wind Farm was commissioned by the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo). Located in the city of Adama, 95 kilometers southwest of the capital Addis Ababa, the project was designed by local engineers but funded by China at a cost of $340 million.
The wind farm has 102 wind turbines each producing 1.5MW. When combined, they would generate 153 MW of electricity per year, meeting nearly 20 percent of Ethiopia’s annual energy demand.
