Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Gerd) has generated more than 2,700 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity during the past 10 months.
The Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) said the mega hydroelectric power plant has surpassed its initial planned power generation targets in the past 10 months of the current 2023/2024 Ethiopian fiscal year that started on July 8, 2023, state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate reported late Wednesday.
The dam registered around a 26 percent increase from the initial plan of 2,152.8 GWh, according to data from EEP.
The EEP attributed Gerd’s increased power generation to the dam’s ability to store more water, enabling its two operational turbines to function at full capacity.
With the new milestone, Gerd contributed about 16 percent of the East African country’s total 16,900 GWh of electricity generated during the reported period from various power generating plants across the country.
