Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt are currently embroiled in a politically charged conflict that surrounds the soon-to-be-completed Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), with Ethiopia's energy objectives purpor.
Among these, solar energy emerges as a beacon of hope, poised to transform Ethiopia's energy landscape and drive socioeconomic development. Significantly, the country has relied heavily on hydropower, which accounts for more than 90% of its electricity generation.
By improving energy access, solar energy can stimulate local economies, enhance educational opportunities, and improve healthcare services, thereby contributing to overall development. Moreover, the transition to solar energy aligns with Ethiopia's ambitious climate goals.
She mentioned that the country's focus is on the solar energy sector, where Ethiopia is investing 300 million USD in a project aimed at generating 300 megawatts of solar energy. It does not only support the country's renewable energy goals but also contributes to reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainability, she said.
Extreme precipitation is an important part of extreme climate change. It is of great significance to study the distribution, trend and mechanism of extreme precipitation in Ethiopia in order to mitigate climate change. Therefore, we analyzed in detail patterns and trends of extreme precipitation through 10 widely used extreme precipitation indices.
In Western and Southeastern Ethiopia, the correlations with three indices were negative, and the values were about −0.4 (Figure 15 d–f). For the duration indices of extreme precipitation, the correlations with R10mm were not significant in the whole of Ethiopia, and the range was −0.31 to 0.33 (Figure 15 g).
The trend range of annual R10mm for the whole of Ethiopia was −1.53 to 0.27 days/year, with the highest decline in the Northwestern Ethiopian Plateau, southern desert and savanna.

To this end, we propose a novel variation-based complementarity metrics system based on the description of series' fluctuation characteristics from quantitative and contoured dimensions. From this, the complementarity between wind and solar resources in China is assessed, and the trend and persistence are tested.
