摘要
THE Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam （GERD） on the Blue Nile. the main headstream of the Nile, could be the largest in Africa once completed by 2017. The figures are impressive - 1.780 meters long and rising up to 145 meters. The GERD could hold up to 70 billion cubic meters of water in a reservoir of 1.800 square km, When its 16 turbines are powered up, Ethiopian engineers say with planned installed capacity of 6,000 MW. it could produce enough energy to meet the demands of Ethiopia with even some excess to export to neighborin~ Kenya and South Sudan.
