SUMMARYThis map of simulated wind speed in Ethiopia was prepared by The World Bank’s cartographic unit using mapping outputs provided by 3E and DTU Wind under contract to The World Bank.
It is one of several outputs from the wind resource mapping component of the activity Renewable Energy Resource Mapping and Geospatial Planning – Ethiopia [Project ID: P151309]. This activity is funded and supported by the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP), a multi-donor trust fund administered by The World Bank, under a global initiative on Renewable Energy Resource Mapping. Further details on the initiative can be obtained from the ESMAP website.
The maps presented are based on interim outputs from the associated project, and are therefore preliminary and unvalidated. Users are strongly advised to exercise caution when utilizing the information presented, and should familiarize themselves with the accompanying reports from this project, and other relevant outputs, to fully understand the context, methodology and constraints. These can be downloaded from the ESMAP website listed above – please refer to the corresponding country project page. During the next phase (2) of this project, measurements will be collected from a number of specially-commissioned meteorological stations throughout the country over a 24 month period, and these will be used in the final phase (3) to develop a final, validated Ethiopia Wind Atlas, which will be made publicly available.
