Description | The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is Africa's largest hydroelectric project, consisting of two large dams on the Blue Nile. The main dam is a 170-meter high roller-compacted concrete gravity dam, and the saddle dam is 5 kilometers long and 50 meters high. The project created a large artificial reservoir with a capacity of 74 billion cubic meters of water. It houses two hydroelectric power plants with 13 Francis turbines, providing an installed capacity of 5,150 MW and an estimated annual production of 15,700 GWh. The project aims to double Ethiopia's electricity production and enable energy exports to neighboring countries, strengthening Ethiopia's energy independence and geopolitical role. |
