The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) compelled geothermal power producers to cut their optimal electricity output by 511.72 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) in the six months to December 31, 2024, to accommodate larger power imports from Ethiopia.
The caps on power generation limits are commonly referred to as "curtailed power" and involve the intentional reduction or restriction of electricity generation, often from renewable sources like geothermal, wind, and solar, to maintain grid stability and prevent overload.
