The Ethiopian Petroleum Supply Enterprise (EPSE) is the monumental, wholly state-owned strategic agency responsible for the procurement, importation, and wholesale distribution of the entirety of Ethiopia’s petroleum requirements. As the absolute primary guardian of the nation’s fuel security, EPSE manages the multi-billion dollar international contracts required to keep Ethiopia’s transport, aviation, and industrial sectors operational. The enterprise operates incredibly massive, high-security fuel storage depots across the nation, maintaining Ethiopia’s strategic national petroleum reserve. EPSE is the absolute sole supplier of clean petroleum products to all private and multinational oil marketing companies operating in the country (including TotalEnergies and Rubis). Their logistical mastery ensures a consistent flow of fuel from the Port of Djibouti into the heart of the Ethiopian economy. Beyond simple procurement, EPSE is a profound driver of price stability and energy forecasting in the Great Lakes region. They utilize incredibly sophisticated international hedging and auditing systems to manage the nation’s massive fuel import bill. EPSE’s relentless work ensures that landlocked Ethiopia maintains an unshakeable and affordable supply of the energy required for its massive industrial renaissance.
