What exactly is missing? The following need to be there: willingness to trade; adequate demand; adequate sources (supply). I believe all these necessary conditions are now there, thanks to the cooperation path we have embarked upon. Ethiopia has huge hydropower potential (source). As of now, it might not need all the power it could generate, which means there is an export potential. Egypt and Sudan, on the other hand, would absorb the extra power Ethiopia could export.

I can refer to the experience of Power Trade (and transmission interconnection) among Egypt, Jordan and Libya. Whenever there is peak demand in Egypt (and slack in the other two countries), power flows from Jordan and Libya to Eg
