Project Proposal on Establishment of Motel (Fuel Station with Accessary Services) July 2023
0. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This project proposal is prepared to establish new Motel (Fuel Station with
Accessary Services) in Siti Zone, Dembel Wereda, Dure Kebele. Our market Study
shows that there seems to be a huge market for petroleum products in the Zone,
especially around the Dembel Wereda, where the project is proposed to be
implemented.
At full capacity operation, the project is planned to make a weekly sales distribution
volume of 120,000.00 liters of Diesel oil; 60,000.00 liters of Gasoline; 30,000.00
liters of Kerosene; 50,000.00 liters of Jet A1, 500.00 liters of Lubricant oils and
250.00 liters of Grease & other lubricants.
The total investment cost of the project is planned to reach ETB 18,200,000, from
which 30% (ETB 5,460,000.00) is contributed by the owner while the remaining
70% (ETB 12,740,000.00) is expected to be financed by Bank Loan.
The project will create a job opportunity for 14 permanent workers during operation
phase. Further, on average 20 temporary workers shall be employed during the
construction period.

1. BACKGROUND
Ethiopia is the second populous nation in Africa, from Nigeria, with a
population of 95 million with double digit average GDP growth during the
last ten years. The country is one of the most preferred nations in the
continent for foreign direct investment while the government follows an
economic policy of agriculture led industrialization. With the gradual
development of the manufacturing sector, and increasing middle class
population the demand for energy is continuously increasing.
Ethiopia imports its oils and refined petroleum products from international
suppliers through the Ethiopian petroleum supply enterprises (EPSE), which
is an enterprises formed by the merger of former two state owned
organizations, the National Depot Administration (NDA) and the Ethiopian
petroleum enterprises (EPE). EPSE is a sole petroleum products supplier in
the country that purchases products in bulk, manages oil reserve and
wholesales to distributors.

In the long term, the project has the objective to participate in the up-
stream petroleum and /or natural gas value chain development pursuant to
the country’s progress in oil exploration and extraction achievements.
2. MARKET ANALYSIS
Ethiopia imports all its petroleum consumption from abroad in a refined form
through the state owned enterprise, Ethiopian petroleum supply enterprise
(EPSE). The petroleum sector is characterized by four players; each
allocated a distinct role to play in the operation. EPSE is the sole importer
and wholesaler of petroleum products in the country. The enterprise imports
petroleum products from the intentional market and wholesales the products
to distributors from Djibouti port upon calculating its own profit margin.
The profit margin of the enterprise is the difference between the import cost
(international fuel cost, freight and insurance) and the monthly selling price
(to distributors) set by ministry of trade. EPSE imports all petroleum
products with the exception of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), Bitumen
products and lubricants.

The products exception to the EPSE are imported and sold by the distributors
at their own discretionary pricing petroleum gas (LPG). bitumen products,
and lubricants. The products exception to the EPSE are imported and sold by
the distributors at their own discretionary pricing.
The other determinant player, the federal ministry of trade sets the domestic
prices of petroleum products routinely for a specific period, usually one
month. By doing so, the ministry determiners the profit margin per liter of
each product for the all the three players, EPSE, distributors, transporters
and retailers.

2.1.2. TRANSPORTERS
The oil tanker fleet in Ethiopia is characterized by old and inefficient vehicles
mainly due to the fact that the oil tankers are mostly imported from abroad
for dire costs and the import of such high value commoditized impacts
foreign current of the country. According to statistics obtained from the
federal transport author, there are 1,200 trucks that transport fuel from
Djibouti to Ethiopia, from Sudan to Ethiopia and from the companies to their
respective regional retailing stations. The vehicles are owned by 18
associations operating in the country 2.
2.1.3. RETAILERS
The retail business of petroleum products in Ethiopia is run by fuel station
owners of fuel stations are required to be distinct from fuel stations are
required to be distinct from fuel distribution and marketing companies. On

the other hand, distribution companies are required to establish at least two
fuel stations before they commence operation and the number of fuel station
under their trade mark ha to reach at least six in five years. If distributors
construct fuel stations themselves, they would need to transfer the retail
operation to another person through rent. There are a total of 654 fuel
stations in the country owned by nine distribution companies out of which 89
percent owned by four big companies, oil Libiya, total, National Oil Ethiopia
9NOC), Yetebaberut, Beherawi petroleum (YBP) and the remaining 11
percent owned by / affiliated to five smaller distribution companies Kobil,
Dalol Oil S.C.., the Sudanese company wadi Alsundus, Nile petroleum and
TAF Oil S.C.
The economic growth and population growth observed in the country entails
equivalent growth in energy demand. Accordingly, the demand for petroleum
products expands 10% every year.

To solve the problem and mitigate the negative impact the frequent
petroleum product shortage may have on the economic growth of the
country. The government has planned to participate in the distribution and
retail. Petroleum business, alongside private operators, by establishing fuel
stations throughout the country. This plan of the government would solve
the company petroleum shortage observed in the upcountry augmenting the
regional distribution of fuel stations.

The current supply of petroleum grows (in average) about 8% while the
demand for petroleum assumed to grow by 10% annually. That means
current supply of petroleum falls short of addressing the growing demand
which results in chance plan or delayed consumption which creates distortion
on the timing of demand.
Based on the existing demand and the demand growth rate, there exists an
untapped demand for petroleum in the country which can be targeted by the
company as possible penetration as a new entrant to industry. If the
products imported by EPSE as presented under petroleum supply section of
this chapter are forecasted at the current supply growth rate, and compared
against the 10% demand growth rate, the remaining demand and supply
gap cannot be addressed by the existing distribution and retail operators.
The demand - and - supply- gap of petroleum under the exiting nominal
growth of consumption is forecasted in table III.

The market gap shown in table III is expected to new entrant distribution
companies (and their respective retail establishments). However, the actual
market petroleum market gap is significantly more than the forecast figure
as the demand will increase in much higher rate due the significant economic
activity expansion expected in the country.
