In the heart of Ethiopia, a colossal dam construction project is taking shape – The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). This mammoth structure is no ordinary dam either; it’s a mega-dam towering twice the height of the Golden Gate Bridge, and covering a reservoir expanse almost as big as London. With its ability to generate over 5,000 megawatts of electricity, the dam holds the potential to lift millions out of poverty.
