An inaugural ceremony was held for the Adama II Wind Farm in Ethiopia on May 18.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam visited the site and started the unit. In his speech, he said that the Government of Ethiopia had always placed a high priority on energy development, especially renewable energy. He also expressed his gratitude to the Chinese Government and contractors for their contributions to boosting economic and social development and power construction of the country, and spoke highly of the project in solving the problem of power shortages.
The Adama II Wind Farm is located in mid-Ethiopia, 95 km from Addis Ababa. With a unit capacity of 1500 KW, and a total capacity of 153 MW, it is currently Africa's second largest wind farm. The Adama I Wind Farm, which is already in service, is China's first wind power project using Chinese technology, standards, management and equipment. The Adama II Wind Farm integrates new wind power generation technology, and establishes new acceptance standards on grid connection.
