20 April 2006 - Ethiopia is to spend $1.4bn building three new hydropower plants that will help meet the country's plans to become a major exporter of electricity in the region.

The three hydropower plants are expected to produce a total of 1155 MW, which will be used to meet increased power demand domestically as well as in the neighbouring countries Sudan, Djibouti and Kenya.

A spokesperson for the state owned Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation said: "By 2010, the construction of the Tekeze hydropower dam with a capacity of 300 MW, Geligele Gibe II with a capacity of 420 MW and Belesse hydropower dam with a capacity of 435 MW, will be completed."
