Mpanga Power Station is situated at the location of Mpanga Falls, on Mpanga River. The 18.0 MW power station was developed by Africa Energy Management Systems. Construction began in 2007. [4] The completed power station came online in 2011. [5] A new 33kV transmission line connects the power station to the national electrical grid.
That brings the total funds committed to the project as, of March 2015, to US $1,688,380,000. As of June 2018, with approximately 76 percent of the work completed, the total construction budget was quoted at US$1.7 billion, with US$1.4 billion for construction of the power station, and US$300 million going towards the new transmission lines and ...
A new 53 kilometres (33 mi) 132kV high voltage power line from the new power station to the substation at Kidahwe, is a component of this project. [1] [2] According to the African Development Bank, the project has these additional benefits: 1. It will create approximately 700 jobs during the construction phase 2.

Only a fraction of this potential has been harnessed so far, 1% at the beginning of the 21st century. In order to become the powerhouse of Africa, Ethiopia is actively exploiting its water resources by building dams, reservoirs, irrigation and diversion canals and hydropower stations. The benefits of the dams are not only limited to hydropower.
In another turn of events in September 2023, UNESCO granted permission for the dam project to proceed even with critics' environmental and tourism concerns. [ 7 ] The tourism industry generated by the current Batoka Gorge, including its whitewater rafting, employs thousands of local individuals, both directly and indirectly, and has been ...
The Ayago Power Station is one of three hydropower projects that have been earmarked for immediate development, together with Karuma Power Station (600 MW) and Isimba Power Station (183 MW), to mitigate the chronic, recalcitrant power shortages that have plagued Uganda since the 1990s, and to meet the projected national requirement of 1,130 MW ...
The Mambilla Hydropower Plant Project has been planned for over 40 years. It is expected to connect to four dams across the Donga River. The first preliminary feasibility study for the Mambilla Hydropower Plant was reportedly carried out by Moto Columbus in 1972, but attempts to construct the power station up to now have been unsuccessful.
