Ok with lots of unplanned construction but still very backward. There is nothing to like in Ethiopia. Thank God I am in kenya. Finally some sense!

Projected demand? To sell to its neighbors?

This dam is on river Omo which supplies Lake Turkana with 90% of the inflow while the remaining 10% is from turkwell which also has a dam. This doesn't affect the blue Nile. Tinker please Think before you comment/ write or let your finger do the walking. you first think before posting HERE. if all you know about is Gibe cascades, start your thread on them. This thread is about the grand renaissance dam project-GRD are u an accountant? Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

The reason why am saying so is because their generating capacity is around 2200 MW most of which is exported to S.Africa despite only 18 percent of Mozambicans having access to electricity. http://www.cnbc.com/id/1...n_175_MW_gasfired_plant http://www.ventures-afri...largest-gas-power-plant/ If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

Wow! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Ethiopian_Renaissance_Dam Meles was decades ahead of other african leaders (even our own baks). He was a brilliant mind but we never noticed. But not ahead of baks. We shall fully realize baks' legacy once he is gone. I'm not sure whether we will be 2nd time lucky, this was a serious fluke by kenyans, a fluke given the current political bullshit all over the place. TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

That's approximately six times Kenya's current capacity! A round of to the Ethiopians! Ethiopia has a GDP per capita that is less than half that of Kenya why do they need 6times our electricity?? Besides i have more faith in Kenya's energy plan! Because socialism simply doesn't work.. By 2030 Kenya plans to have 21,000MW connected to the grid! By 2025 there should be 15,000MW hooked up to the grid! By 2020 Kenya would have hooked 8,500MW to the grid! By 2016 we should have 4,500MW hooked to our grid! Mark 12:29 Deuteronomy 4:16
