The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) is to start generating electricity next year, that’s according to the National Coordination Office for the dam.
The project is finalizing preparation to start generating 700MW electricity by next year, office Deputy Director General, Zadig Abraha told ERTA on Tuesday.
The personnel at the project site are working round the clock to meet the timetable, he added.
According to Zadig, to date, 25.4 percent of work on the dam has already been done.
While the project has so far created 6,000 jobs, the amount is expected to double in the end.
5.2 billion Birr of pledges thus far has already been collected whereas over 10 billion Birr is yet to be collected.
A total of 80 billion Birr is needed to accomplish the grand project, which would be the biggest power plant in Africa generating 6,000MW electricity.

Keep in touch.
Sorry the above posting was intended for the posting under the title “መንግስት:- ”አልሸባብና በኤርትራ የሚታገዙ አሸባሪዎች ለጥቃት እየተዘጋጁ ነው”. For some reason it inadvertently appeared here. Any glitch Danny?
I remember the G7’s Andargachew Tsige in his recent interview on VOA (about two months ago) mentioning about “his troops” being trained in Eritrea are preparing to wedge an attack of some sort anytime in near future. So there seems we are now! Shameless creatures. After all these failures they didn’t seem to understand who EPRDF is – or are simply and knowingly entering into the phase of “last minutes gasp”.
