Ethiopia – Gibe III 1870 MW
Client: Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo)
Type of contract: EPC
Project description:
The Gibe III Hydropower Project (1870 MW) is presently under construction in Ethiopia, approximately 250 Km south-west of Addis Ababa.
It is part of the Gibe-Omo Cascade project which includes Gilgel Gibe I (in operation), 420 MW Gibe II (in operation), Gibe III 1870 MW (under construction).
Several aspects of this important project are worthy of particular attention:
• The 1870 MW of installed power, generated through 10 Francis turbines in an open-air power house will provide 6500 GWh/year to be transmitted by means of a 65 km HV transmission line.
• Its 240 m high roller compacted concrete (RCC) dam will be world’s highest dam of that type.
• The entire project was conceived, designed and construction commenced in under 4 years thanks to the adoption of Salini’s “fast track” techniques.
