The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam

Everything Everywhere Daily: History, Science, Geography & More

For decades, the nation of Ethiopia has dreamed of creating a damn on the Blue Nile River. 

Such a dam would provide an enormous amount of electricity for a country that is one of the lowest electricity consumers in the world. Such a project would be a massive undertaking and it would also bring a great deal of prestige to the country. 

What was once a dream began to become a reality in the 21st century, and today is producing energy for the country. However, the project has also caused problems with many of its neighbors. 

Learn more about the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, how it was built as well as how it has impacted the country and its neighbors, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
