 Rationale for the policy
• Ddevelop and utilize the country's energy
resources on the basis of overall
development strategy with introduction
of energy efficiency and conservation
strategy.
• support other economic sectors to meet
their development objectives
• save scare foreign exchange resources
and ensure efficient utilization of energy
EEA Ethiopian Energy Authority 4
 Rationales cont……
• change the current energy production
and utilization practices
• formulate comprehensive energy
prices
• ascertain appropriate energy
technologies and equipment
• raise energy sector efficiency,
EEA Ethiopian Energy Authority 5
 Policy Objectives
• ensure a reliable supply of energy at
affordable prices
• ensure and encourage a shift from
traditional to modern energy use.
• remove bottlenecks in the
development and utilization of energy.

Set National EE & C Strategies and Programs

• EEA develops and implement national EE & C

strategies and programs.
• It contains detailed economic evaluation, objectives
and measurable targets.

• review periodically the national EE & C strategies and

programs

• Designated industries and Buildings
