Mida Woremo (Amharic: ሚዳ ወረሞ) is one of the woredas in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Part of the Semien Shewa Zone, Mida Woremo is bordered on the south by the Qechene River which separates it from Merhabiete, on the west by the Oromia Region, and on the north and east by the Debub Wollo Zone; the northern boundary is defined by the Walaqa River. The administrative center of this woreda is Meragna; other towns include Rema.
This woreda was originally named Weremo Wajetuna Midarema, which is the name used in the 1994 national census; it was changed before the Ethiopian Agricultural Sample Survey in October 2001, which used the present name.
As of 2008[update], 1000 households in Rema receive electricity from solar generation, free of charge. This project is funded by Stiftung Solarenergie, a German foundation promoting solar energy.[2]
