Inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam https://t.co/H6fuJseh1r

[Kennedy Wandera @KennedyWandera_]

Ethiopia🇪🇹 has officially inaugurated Africa's largest hydroelectric dam, a project that will provide energy to millions of Ethiopians while deepening a rift with downstream Egypt that has unsettled the region.

"To our (Sudanese and Egyptian) brothers; Ethiopia built the dam to prosper, to electrify the entire region and to change the history of black people," Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed says. "It is absolutely not to harm its brothers."

Ethiopia, the continent's second most populous nation with over 120 million people, sees the $5 billion Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam on a tributary of the River Nile as central to its economic ambitions.

The dam's power has gradually increased since the first turbine was turned on in 2022, reaching its maximum capacity of 5,150 MW on Tuesday. That puts it among the 20 biggest hydroelectric dams in the world - about one-quarter of the capacity of China's Three Gorges Dam.

Egypt, with a population of about 108 million, depends on the Nile for about 90% of its fresh water.

Sudan, meanwhile, has joined Egypt's calls for legally binding agreements on the dam's filling and operation, but could also benefit from better flood management and access to cheap energy.
