Energy

The Koysha Hydropower Project is a major addition to Ethiopia’s renewable-energy infrastructure and an important part of the country's long-term strategy to expand reliable electricity generation.

Located on the Omo River in southwestern Ethiopia, the project is designed with an expected installed capacity of approximately 2,160 MW and annual generation potential of roughly 6,460 GWh, according to project information from the main contractor.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is one of the most consequential infrastructure projects in modern Ethiopia. Built on the Abay River in Benishangul-Gumuz Regional State, the project was developed to expand Ethiopia’s electricity-generation capacity and support the country’s long-term economic transformation.
