Njengoba kunikezwe lesi sigaba esiphathelene nedamu elikhulu lase-Ethiopia, yikuphi ukukhiqizwa kwamandla okulindelekile kumklamo wakamuva.
Context:Ekuqaleni, ngo-2011, isitshalo samandla kagesi sasizothola amayunithi wokukhiqiza ayi-15 anekhono le-nameplate engu-350 MW ngalinye, okuholele ekutheni kube namandla afakiwe angama-5,250 MW ngokukhiqizwa kwamandla okulindelekile kwe-15,128 GWh ngonyaka. Amandla ayo okukhiqiza ahleliwe kamuva akhuphukela kuma-MW ayi-6,000, ngokusebenzisa amayunithi wokukhiqiza ayi-16 anekhono elingu-375 MW ngalinye. Ukukhiqizwa kukagesi okulindelekile kulinganiselwa ku-15,692 GWh ngonyaka. Ngo-2017, umklamo waphinde washintshwa ukuze ungeze amanye ama-MW angu-450 ukuze kube nengqikithi yama-MW angu-6 450, ngokukhiqizwa kwamandla okuhlosiwe kwe-16,153 GWh ngonyaka. Lokhu kwafezwa ngokuthuthukisa amayunithi wokukhiqiza ayi-14 kwayi-16 asuka kuma-375 MW aya kuma-400 MW ngaphandle kokushintsha amandla aqokiwe. Ngokusho kwesikhulu esiphezulu sase-Ethiopia, ngo-Okthoba 17, 2019, amandla okukhiqiza amandla e-GERD manje angama-MW angu-5 150, anama-turbine ayi-13 (2x 375 MW no-11x 400 MW) kunama-turbine ayi-16.
Umklamo omusha owakhiwe ngo-2017 unamandla okuhlolwa okukhiqizwa kwamandla angu-16,153 GWh / ngonyaka usebenzisa amayunithi wokukhiqiza amandla kagesi angu-16.
