One shud visit ethiopia before even trying to admire them. Addis is exactly like Nairobi in 1990. 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!

Food for thought:

After completion, the Renaissance Dam is set to supply 6,000 MW. That's approximately six times Kenya's current capacity!

A round of Applause Applause Applause to the Ethiopians!


What buffles me is.. What do they need that much capacity for..? is their domestic demand that high? Projected demand? To sell to its neighbors?

Please refrain from commenting without knowledge. 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

My friend Tony, you are as wrong as they come! I now draw your attention to posts 3 and 8. There are 2 major projects ongoing. .....the Grand Renaissance Dam on the Blue Nile (6000mw) n the Gibe III dam accross river Omo (1400mw).

Mozambique is set to build gas-to-power plant to boost its electricity supply or in other words to sell to South Africa. 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.

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.

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.

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!
