Djibouti and Ethiopia have signed a construction agreement for the Second Djibouti–Ethiopia Power System Interconnection Project, marking a major milestone in regional energy integration and sustainable power development in the Horn of Africa.

The agreement, signed Wednesday in Djibouti City, covers the construction of a 230-kilovolt Nagad–Galafi transmission line, which will enhance the flow of reliable, low-cost electricity between the two countries.

Djibouti’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Yonis Ali Guedi said the interconnection aligns with Djibouti’s National Energy Strategy, which prioritizes the use of renewable resources such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower.
