The Addis Ababa City Administration stated on March 1, 2022 that the Adwa Zero Km Mega Project, which is being built in the area of Emperor Menelik II, has reached 75 percent of its stage towards completion.
The plant was developed by Cambridge Industries Ltd for Ethiopian Electric Power and Addis Ababa City Administration. The facility was founded by Samuel Alemayehu to tackle waste in the city of Addis Ababa. The plant became operational in August 2018 making it the first waste-to-energy plant in Africa.
• Gibe III hydropower plant project is currently under construction, some 250 km south-west of Addis Ababa. The installed power will be 1,870 MW per year. • The construction of two power generating plants downstream entitled the Gibe IV and Gibe V has now been planned.
Samuel Alemayehu, a Stanford engineer, former Silicon Valley entrepreneur and World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, says the plant will supply 30% of Addis Ababa’s household energy needs and incinerate roughly 80% of its rubbish. That's 1,400 tons of waste every day.
The construction industry in the region is growing and offering a green market through the various ongoing mega projects. Also Read: Top ongoing mega projects in India The Addis-Africa International Convention & Exhibition Center (AAICEC) is one of the top ongoing mega projects in Ethiopia.
The Great Renaissance Dam, on the Blue Nile is planned to have a total capacity of generating 6000 MW when it is fully operational. The construction will be finalized in 2015.
