Corbetti Geothermal Power Project (520 MW)

Project Description

A 520 MW geothermal power development in the Corbetti Caldera, Oromia Region, designed to tap Ethiopia's vast geothermal potential in the East African Rift. The project involves drilling up to 120 production wells, constructing a steam gathering system, and building a 520 MW power plant with associated transmission infrastructure connecting to the Ethiopian national grid. The project supports Ethiopia's Climate-Resilient Green Economy strategy and provides baseload renewable power. Phase 1 (150 MW) is shovel-ready with exploratory drilling completed. Expected to power over 3 million households and support industrial growth.
