Sharjah24 – AFP: Ethiopia will start generating power from its mega-dam on the Blue Nile on Sunday, government officials said, a major milestone for the controversial project.
The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), set to be the largest hydroelectric scheme in Africa, has been at the centre of a regional dispute ever since Ethiopia broke ground there in 2011.
"Tomorrow will be the first energy generation of the dam," an Ethiopian government official said on Saturday.
