2013年6月21日 · The Gilgel Gibe I reservoir, which only recently become operational, is located in southwest Ethiopia in the Gilgel Gibe River basin (Fig. 1). This reservoir is one of the first cascading dams built on the Omo-Gibe river basin.

Today, Gilgel Gibe is the first plant of a five-plant hydroelectric cascade. The Gibe/Omo hydropower cascade has been a driving force behind Ethiopia’s recent development. Three of four plants are already on-line (GIBE I, GIBE II, GIBE III) with an installed power of 2’500 MW, while GIBE IV (otherwise known as Koysha) with its 2’160 MW is ...

Climate change impacts on the streamflow and simulated sediment flux to Gilgel Gibe 1 hydropower reservoir–Ethiopia

2023年6月1日 · This study aimed to assess the impact of climate change on the hydrological components of Gilgel Gibe-1 using the ensemble of Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments (CORDEX) Africa Domain namely REMO2009, HIRAM5, CCLM4-8 and RCA4 Regional Climate Models (RCMs) simulations.

The Gilgel Gibe I reservoir, which only recently become operational, is located in southwest Ethiopia in the Gilgel Gibe River basin (Fig. 1). This reservoir is one of the first cascading dams built on the Omo-Gibe river basin. Gilgel Gibe II has no dam but receives water from Gilgel Gibe I after passing through a 25 km under-hill tunnel in ...

Gilgel Gibe III (also called Gibe III) is located downstream from Gilgel Gibe II, a 243 m high dam. Upon completion, Gibe III will be the first largest hydroelectric plant in Africa with power output of about 1870 Megawatt (EEPCo 2012).
