Africa-Press – Ethiopia. Welcome to Black Culture Diary! Today we explore a historic achievement – the completion of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydroelectric power project. Built on the Blue Nile River, this $5 billion mega-dam marks a bold step toward Ethiopia’s energy independence, economic transformation, and leadership in renewable energy in Africa. GERD is not just a dam – it’s a symbol of national pride, self-reliance, and continental ambition. As Ethiopia begins generating thousands of megawatts of clean electricity, the project is also reshaping regional geopolitics, intensifying the Nile water dispute with Egypt and Sudan. Despite tensions, Ethiopia maintains that GERD brings stability, sustainable development, and hope for millions. Join us as we unpack how this monumental structure is changing everything for Ethiopia and beyond.
