Gibe III dam is the most important dam in Ethiopia.

The dam almost doubles the East African country’s electricity production with the aim of modernising its economy and becoming a regional energy hub.

The hydroelectric plant generates up to 6,500 Gwh per year, increasing domestic energy production by more than 80%.
