    Opportunity to Scale Up Solar

    Technology in Ethiopia

    Smallholder Irrigation Development

    Expansion Project (SHIDEP)
    Introduction
    In Ethiopia over 11Mha of smallholder irrigation
    potential (about 1.4Mha irrigated). More than 60% of
    our farmers are smallholders that have less 1ha.

    Availability of over 24.64BM3 shallow ground water that


    can irrigate around 2.71Mha (ATA, 2019); benefit >
    6.4MHH and also the potential is beyond inclusively with
    deep GW.
    GW= 4.3 Mha = 48%

    Current coverage < 1.2Mha

    234,772 km2, 100 % of the target, has been mapped,
    with command area in >2.7 mil ha
    Issues Result Obtained Overall SGWM areas
    ▪ 24.64 bm3 water is available at a
    Quantity of depth of less than 30 m ▪ Well
    shallow Spacing are defined based on
    ground water annual recharge rate

    ▪ 2,708,373ha of land can be irrigated


    ▪ 6,393,120 HHs beneficiary
    households
    ▪ 169 navigational tools procured &
    SGWM output uploaded
    ▪ 114 SGW Atlases are produced,

    ▪ Training on the use and operation of
    navigation tool on shallow
    groundwater development was
    provided to 98 regional experts of
    the four main regions
    ▪ Additional training and experience
    sharing at Prague conducted for ATA
    Irrigation Pumps
    • In Ethiopia over 200,000ha were irrigated by diesel
    pump which demands an operation cost of 50M USD
    every year/GIZ 2019/. Currently, more than 400,000
    of Diesel water pumps are distributed with average
    operation cost of 350 USD/ha/Season. (Alemayehu,
    2018)

    It is a very well known fact that the development of a given nation


    is directly proportional to the amount of energy consumption.

    SOLAR ENERGY POTENTIAL ETHIOPIA

    The semi-arid and desert areas in the eastern part and the northern-central part of

    Ethiopia have the highest radiation intensity 6.5-7.5 kWh/m2/day, while the other

    parts of the land have radiation in the range of 4.5-6.0 kWh/m2/day.

    Ethiopia has annual total solar energy reserve of 2.199 million TWh/annum.
