	Since armed conflict emerged in Ethiopia's Tigray, Amhara and Afar regions in late 2020, a worrying humanitarian crisis has developed in the north of the country. Here alone, there are 2.6 million IDPs and nearly 100,000 refugees in the aforementioned 3 regions. Armed forces regularly block humanitarian aid from accessing rural areas in the Tigray region. In addition, many refugees have no access to communications or electricity, which in turn limits health and water supplies<ref name="Ethiopia's Tigray Refugee Crisis Explained">UNHCR (2022): Ethiopia's Tigray Refugee Crisis Explained. https://www.unrefugees.org/news/ethiopia-s-tigray-refugee-crisis-explained/</ref>.

		+	But it is not only rural regions that are regularly cut off from electricity. For a year, the capital of the Tigray region suffered regular power cuts due to the war, until it was finally reconnected to the national grid at the end of 2022<ref name="Capital of Ethiopia's Tigray region reconnected to electric grid after a year of war-related cuts">France24 (2022): Capital of Ethiopia's Tigray region reconnected to electric grid after a year of war-related cuts. https://www.france24.com/en/africa/20221206-capital-of-ethiopia-s-tigray-region-reconnected-to-electric-grid-after-a-year-of-war-related-cuts</ref>.
