Burundi is reportedly waiting for the completion of the Grand Renaissance Dam to buy electricity
Addis Ababa: June 30, 2014 (FBC) Burundi is awaiting the completion of the Grand Renaissance Dam to benefit from electricity supply.
According to Alemtsehai, Special Envoy and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of the Federal Democratic Republic of Uganda to Uganda, Minister of Water, Energy and Minerals, Engineer Ibrahim Uzei, discussed the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam and two issues.
The ambassador said the construction and negotiation of the Grand Renaissance Dam will be carried out in accordance with the timeline for the second round of filling, according to a 2015 memorandum of understanding between the three countries.
He said the development and growth of power supply is unthinkable, adding that while the population of the riparian countries is growing, the supply of electricity should also be balanced, but this has not been possible in most countries.
He said Burundi is one of the largest lakes in East Africa and a member of the Nile Basin, but its supply of electricity is very low. He said Burundi is waiting for the dam to be completed.
In this regard, the Minister stressed the need to create large-scale hydropower projects in countries such as Ethiopia, such as the Renaissance Dam, by providing adequate electricity to the region.
On her part, the ambassador said the Renaissance Dam will address the needs of more than 65 million Ethiopians who are suffering from power outages.
According to information obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two countries discussed cooperation between the two countries in the areas of water development, energy and mining.
