As reservoir waters flowed into the turbines of the Grand Renaissance Dam, Ethiopians dressed in colorful regalia viewed the ceremony on large screens across the capital, Addis Ababa, and celebrated the achievement with dancing to traditional music.
"We will have enough power to charge our electric vehicles from the new dam," said Belay Tigabu, a bus driver in Addis Ababa's main bus terminal.
