Ethiopia is very close to the equator....
Why cannot they use solar panels for power instead of stealing water from other countries.
Should be a no-brainer.
This is probably why
“.... turbines and associated electrical equipment of the hydropower plants costing about US$1.8 billion are reportedly financed by Chinese banks. .....”
The Chinese probably bought the Ethiopian bonds and greased the palms of Ethiopian officials.
I applaud Ethiopia for being visionary....
Egypt and Ethiopia will just have to work it out....
because solar panels only work when the sun is up. Hydro power is one of the best forms of electricity generation to keep a electrical system stable.
