Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced that three new turbines will be installed and operational at the Renaissance Dam within the next four months, increasing the total number of installed turbines to seven.

He highlighted that the dam's water reservoir is expected to reach 70 billion cubic meters by December and emphasized that the construction of the dam is anticipated to be fully completed by the same month.

More good news has emerged from Guba for the lower Abbay basin countries. Along with the uninterrupted flow of the river, the dam's spillways have been opened, releasing an additional 2,800 cubic meters of water per second.

Abiy Ahmed emphasized the Renaissance Dam's crucial role in managing water flow, mitigating flood risks, and ensuring a steady water supply to downstream countries, particularly during periods of drought. He underscored the dam's importance in promoting water security and stability in the region.

He explained that the regulated release of water from the dam contributes to enhanced agricultural productivity, increased energy generation capacity, and improved resource utilization across the entire region. This, he noted, positions the dam as a vital asset for regional development and sustainability.
