Abstract

In the study paper presented hereunder, research study has been undertaken in closely investigating the “Prospects and Challenges in the Adoption of Energy Efficiency in the Manufacturing Sector of Ethiopia”. The central problem of the study has been posed as follows: How is the adoption of energy efficiency practices in publicly owned metal manufacturing industries in Ethiopia? What are the prospects and challenges involved in realizing energy conservation practices? Answers to key and fundamental research questions pertaining to energy conservation were sought by focusing on the specific issues based on factory level assessment on the status of energy conservation in terms of technological and structural practices. Once the data is collected, this was sorted and analyzed using statistical measures based on I-P-O2 model framework. Based on the research findings key conclusions and recommendations have been drown.
