L lnrroduction
Ethiopia has experienced a lot of growth over the past decade and a half both economically and in
demography. This pushes for more petrol stations around the country; especially around the
capital city Addis Ababa the demand supply gap is high. This growth has consequently increased
the number of investors and visitors. And the people of the capital city around Bole sub-city Bole
Bulbula center need a petrol station to stay close their business. This project aims at providing this
target market requisite petrol station with full facilities and Motel building service for the area.
Our mission is to successfully build, promote and provide quality petrol station and Motel. We
plan to create an environment of convenience that surpasses the standard level for other petrol
station in area. The client of this petrol station development will have every need met to ensure a
total and comprehensive comfort. Petroleum products are among the most valuable natural
resources abundantly available in our country while the country is not making it functional still.
Ethiopia and people everywhere use petroleum products as a fuel in their automobiles,
generating sets industrial plants and for cooking purposes in most of the area of the country, thus
making petroleum products an essential commodity that is needed for the daily operations of
individual, industrial and national activities. Ethiopia being non-oil producing nation, however still
relies on imported petroleum products for the servicing of the economy. Such petroleum utilized
by almost everybody on daily basis at an average of 10 liters daily usage. Due to increasing level of
standard of living more Ethiopian are increasing the number of cars on the road, the need for
constant power supply to aid uninterrupted production of goods and services and also for
domestic use more Ethiopians are increasing the demand for fuel in order to enjoy the usage of
their generating sets and industrial plants. The total projected cost for setting up a standard
motor- fuel filling station in the city state has been estimated at Birr 6,300,000 million it includes
land, building fuel dispensers and other equipment's, spares along with the preliminary expenses
and working capital.

6.3. Market Supply
Total number of petrol stations that are fully operational in the city is quite low for meeting the
growing demand for petroleum products. Apart from these, stations are many other stations that are
not functioning while a few others are spring up. There has been a tremendous growth in the
downstream petroleum sector over the years. There are 710,000 vehicles in Ethiopia with more than
70 percent of them (410,000) registered in Addis Ababa. However, the number of fuel stations in the
capital stood at only 100. "Most of the fuel stations are very old and have small storage capacity,"
sources said. "Securing plots of land to construct fuel stations is a big hurdle," they said. The above
growth rates present an opportunity for the new entrants to earn profits by setting up new petrol
filling to meet the growing demand.
7. Regulations and Licenses
7.1. License
Obtaining a license from Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources and Department of Petroleum
Resources (DPR) are pre-requisites for setting up the motor Fuel filling station? o Licensing . Bid
documents will be prepared and can be collected from the Ministry (MOMPNG). - The notice will stay
at least for 45 days The beginning and ending dates will be specified. • Evaluation will follow based on
the score cards set at beginning, The winner will be notified officially to all bidders. • Signing date will
be fixed with the winner, . Signing ceremony with the Minister and authorized company
representative will be followed, o If there is only one interest Negotiation will be carried out between
the company team and Ministry of Mines team,
. When agreement is reached on various fiscal terms and articles of the PPSA. report will be submitted
the Ministers offices (MOM). The PSA will be endorsed to the Council of Ministers, • • The Council of
Ministers, chaired by the PM will approve the PPSA. . After the approval of the Council, the Minister
and the authorized company representative will sign the agreement.
7.2. Guidelines for Setting up of motor-fuel filling satiation Basic principle of the governing
consideration is to minimize as much as possible interference to normal flow of traffic on the road by
vehicles using the amenity and also to ensure safety. General conditions of inactive:-
1. The clear distance between two adjacent fuel filling station (these will also include fuel filling -cum-
services station) should not be less than 300 meters,
2. Fuel filling station should be well distribution on both sides of the road, so that vehicles do not have
to cut across the traffic to reach a fuel filling station. The fuel filling station on opposite sides shall be
staggered.
3. Sitting of fuel filling stations near existing check barriers should be avoided. They should be at least
1 km away from the check barrier.
4. The distance between the tangent point of the curves of the side road and the fuel filling station
measured in a direction parallel to the center line of the road should not be less than 100 meters and
the station should be located only in the outbound direction. However on expressway and arterial
road having dual carriageway. The distance from the junction should not be less than 300 meter.
7.3. Income Tax The income of the petrol filling station is not exempted from the income tax. The
investor has to pay tax on his/her income according to the nature of the business entity. The current
project is being operated as a private owned company. So the income tax is payable at the prevailing
rate.
