For example, it says only 20% of Eritreans have access to electricity when we know the latest World Bank figures indicate it's 32%. While this figure is low, it's still above average in sub-Sahara Africa, where the average access to electricity is below 25%. No doubt, this is one area we can all work on to improve as a continent.<br /><br />Source http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZSMadoteEritreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-63023201468674736562013-12-31T16:34:35.776-08:002013-12-31T16:34:35.776-08:00Thanks for the reply.

To answer you first question, a seni...Hi Berhane,<br /><br /><br />To answer you first question, a senior Eritrean official has already publicly stated that the power plant is being expanded and will be finished "soon". <br /><br />Source: https://twitter.com/hawelti/status/355966173420072960<br /><br /><br />To answer your second question, last month, another senior Eritrean official said the power issues in Asmara, which were caused by glitches and logistical issues at the Hirgigo power plant, will be resolved before the end of December. <br /><br /><br />Source: https://twitter.com/warsaigedim/statuses/402446298529296384<br /><br /><br />When you add the residents in the city report of power returning to normal, it makes a strong case to believe the issue is fixed. <br /><br /><br />Happy New Year!MadoteEritreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-12897690419409007232013-12-31T13:48:39.308-08:002013-12-31T13:48:39.308-08:00Why is the source of this information coming from ...Why is the source of this information coming from the Africa Energy Intelligence and not the Government of Eritrea? <br /><br />Also same thing regarding the electrical issues noted in Asmara, the source of no more electrical shortages is residents of the city? This is considered reliable? <br /><br /><br /><br />Four sentences about the power plant just leaves with me too many questions....berhanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-79821928523461501642013-12-31T11:51:03.265-08:002013-12-31T11:51:03.265-08:00This is absoultely fantastic news.

Where possible, we have to concentrate on renewable energy sources as traditional fuel derived power plants are a drain on foreign currency.danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-71919223255080698342013-12-31T11:46:40.892-08:002013-12-31T11:46:40.892-08:00where you getiing your maths from?where you getiing your maths from?danielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774364245587719244.post-55813286766788093092013-12-31T11:45:14.755-08:002013-12-31T11:45:14.755-08:00No you're right.

Conversely the existing power output must have been 79 MW and increased to 132 MW to get an increase of 66%.Lalmbanoreply@blogger.com
