Gibe Dam III is indeed the Pride of Ethiopia. Once completed this project will generate 1870 Mega Watt electric power. Currently Ethiopia has only ~ 800 Mega Watt and Gibe III will boost the output by 230%. This project provides thousands of job opportunities for the local communities. For this huge project only 57 households will be displaced and the government is in process to reallocate & compensate these families. Gibe III is and remains to be the driving force to uplift our economy
