During Lent , for example, Christian s who abstain from eating meat, milk, and eggs consume fish. ref name cs Although the Second Five Year Agricultural Development Plan 2001 2005 laid down a number of targets to improve the yield of Ethiopia s fisheries, a number of problems remain to be overcome.

Hydropower Hydropower accounts for the bulk of Ethiopia s electric power generating capacity and output. In 2002, the country s generating capacity stood at 501 MW, with hydropower accounting for 451 MW, and conventional thermal at 50 MW. Electricity production for that same year stood at 2.024 TWh, of which 2.003 TWh and 20 GWh came from hydroelectric and conventional thermal plants, respectively. Electric power consumption in 2002 totaled 1.882 TWh. However, Ethiopia s heavy reliance upon hydropower to supply its electric power has made the country vulnerable to lengthy drought s. Oil and natural gas Ethiopia has small reserves of oil and natural gas . As of January 2003, the country s crude oil and natural gas reserves were placed at convert 428000 oilbbl m3 and convert 880 Gcuft m3 , respectively. Ethiopia has no crude oil refining capacity and must import all refined petroleum products. Imports of refined petroleum products totaled 24,910 barrels per day, with consumption was an estimated 23,000 barrels per day in 2001. In 1997, due to high maintenance and operating costs, Eritrea and Ethiopia agreed to shut down their joint operations at the petroleum refinery at Assab and import refined petroleum products. In 2001, Ethiopia signed an agreement to import petroleum products from Sudan , which began in January 2003. Although Ethiopia has few proven hydrocarbon reserves, it is estimated to have considerable potential for oil and gas exploration.
