Achwa 1 is a run-of-the-river hydroelectricity project with planned annual output of 274 GWh. This power station is one in a cascade of five power stations planned on the Achwa River totaling 109 megawatts (146,000 hp).
Despite the large difference in installed capacity between Three Gorges Dam and Itaipu Dam, they generate nearly equal amounts of electrical energy during the course of an entire year – Itaipu 103 terawatt-hours (370 PJ) in 2016 [1] and Three Gorges 111.8 TWh (402 PJ) in 2020, [2] because the Three Gorges experiences six months per year when ...
The Kashimbila Hydroelectric Power Station, also Kashimbilla Hydroelectric Power Station is a 40 MW hydroelectric power station across the Katsina-Ala River in Nigeria. . Originally intended to be an 18 megawatt installation, the dam and power station were re-configured to a 40 MW power station and the dam reservoir expanded from 200Mm 3 to 5
The Grand Inga Dam (French: Barrage du Grand Inga) is a series of seven proposed hydroelectric power stations at the site of the Inga Falls, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [1] If built as planned, the 40–70 GW project [2] [3] would be the largest power station in the world. [4] [5]
The power station is located on Ruzizi River, straddling the common border between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DC). Its location is approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) directly west of the town of Bugarama, in Rusizi District, in Rwanda's Western Province, approximately 280 kilometres (174 mi), southwest of Kigali, the capital city of that country.

This would violate the preservation boundary below the falls, which is 12 km according to UNESCO World Heritage Site agreements. [14] Thus, if the dam proposal moves forward,Victoria Falls could become a World Heritage in Danger. [15] These perspectives are part of the ongoing debate surrounding the proposed dam and the potential consequences.
