Analysis
Ethiopia recorded 1.1 terawatt-hours for electricity generation from wind in 2025. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 57.1% on the previous year and up 44.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, electricity generation from wind in Ethiopia peaked at 1.1 terawatt-hours in 2025 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 2000.
That places Ethiopia 57th out of 212 countries with data for 2025, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
