Ambassador Dina explained the power deals Ethiopia is making with neighboring countries contribute to the African Union’s efforts of continental integration. 

Mihret Debebe, Chief Executive Officer of the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation said the power inter-connectivities are happening after thorough studies of financial feasibility and of environmental impact assessments.
