The #GERD project is truly monumental, not just because it’s taller than the Great Pyramid in Giza, when the dam is fully operational, its generating capacity will exceed 5,000 megawatts—doubling Ethiopia’s electricity supply. #AFRICAN_DAM @SFRCdems pic.twitter.com/7wSSXIJRzX Share on X

With the #GERD operational, Ethiopia might fully electrify itself by the 2030s, without much fossil fuel in its energy mix. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @SenateForeign @hr  @EUSR_Weber @HannaTetteh @LaetitiaBader @KenRoth @amnest  @BradSherman @SFRCdems… Share on X

Without electricity, the vast majority of Ethiopians rely on burning wood, dung, and other forms of biomass, and so deforestation and soil erosion has accelerated. Ethiopia badly needs #GERD. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @UKParliament @EU_Commission pic.twitter.com/hmwRMW6KFk Share on X

Once this dam and several smaller ones are completed during the coming years, Ethiopia could well become the hydropower hub for East Africa. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM  @eucopresident @vonderleyen @JanezLenarcic @PowerUSAID @USAmbUN @CanadaFP @eu_eeas… Share on X

#GERD will actually benefit the downstream countries by smoothing variations in water flow and increasing water availability during low-flow months. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @eucopresident @JosepBorrellF @trussliz pic.twitter.com/R8XUBR5DJL Share on X

Once #GERD is done it will reduce damage from floods and that Sudan will be able to purchase electricity generated by the dam. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @UKParliament @CanadaFP @UN_HRC @vonderleyen @MikeHammerUSA @Reuters @ChrisCoons @bpolitics @BBCAfrica… Share on X

#GERD has the potential to transform development in the country. It will provide households, especially those in rural Ethiopia, with clean and affordable energy. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @HouseForeign @CNNAfrica @AJEnglish @AsstSecStateAF @EUSR_Weber pic.twitter.com/FSjjkvlXeY Share on X

#GERD is the most important public investment in the country’s history and remain quite supportive. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @hr  @EUSR_Weber @HannaTetteh @LaetitiaBader @KenRoth @amnest  @BradSherman @SFRCdems @UKParliament… Share on X

Things need to change so that the Nile can benefit all in the region. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @EU_Commission @eucopresident @vonderleyen @JanezLenarcic @PowerUSAID @USAmbUN @CanadaFP @eu_eeas @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @eucopresident pic.twitter.com/4JeP01TmXT Share on X

There is no legal ground to stop ETHIOPIA from equitably using the Nile waters. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @JosepBorrellF @trussliz @UKParliament @CanadaFP @UN_HRC @vonderleyen @MikeHammerUSA @Reuters @ChrisCoons @bpolitics @BBCAfrica @HouseForeign pic.twitter.com/4KU6UUeGhM Share on X

Ethiopia aside from #GERD, will and should use the Nile waters for consumptive purposes, including irrigation. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @CNNAfrica @AJEnglish @AsstSecStateAF @EUSR_Weber @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @hr  @EUSR_Weber @HannaTetteh @LaetitiaBader… Share on X

The reservoir behind the #GERD will fill naturally during the Blue Nile's rainy season. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @KenRoth @amnest  @BradSherman @SFRCdems @UKParliament @EU_Commission @eucopresident @vonderleyen @JanezLenarcic @USAmbUN @WorldResources… Share on X

Again Ethiopia sees the #GERD as a way to bring electricity to millions of its citizens. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @eu_eeas @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @eucopresident @JosepBorrellF @trussliz @UKParliament @CanadaFP @UN_HRC @vonderleyen pic.twitter.com/VEc5ybpt3b Share on X

Accusing Ethiopia of filling the dam having bad intentions - suggesting the dam was being filled deliberately gives the false impression that filling up the dam is like filling up a bath - and that Ethiopia can turn a tap on and off at will. #GERD pic.twitter.com/hmwRMW6KFk Share on X

Abay /blue nile is not our work. It is a gift of God that we are given to use it properly, Ethiopian PM H.E DR Abiy Ahmed #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @MikeHammerUSA @Reuters @ChrisCoons @bpolitics @BBCAfrica @HouseForeign @CNNAfrica @AJEnglish @AsstSecStateAF… Share on X

The Great Renaissance Dam is the image of the winning Ethiopia. It demonstrates the We can Ethiopian spirit #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @EUSR_Weber @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @hr  @EUSR_Weber @LaetitiaBader @KenRoth @amnest  @BradSherman  @UKParliament… Share on X

The #GERD dam will bring electricity to rural & urban homes, meaning children have proper light to read & do their homework after the sun goes down. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @EU_Commission @eucopresident @vonderleyen @JanezLenarcic @IWAHQ @USAmbUN Share on X

The #GERD is now 90 percent complete, and the coming rainy season will see an estimated 17 billion cubic meters of water retained in the fourth filling of the massive reservoir created by the dam. #AFRICAN_DAM @CanadaFP @eu_eeas @JosepBorrellF pic.twitter.com/VEc5ybpt3b Share on X

For millions of Ethiopians, half of whom have no electricity and still rely on burning wood for heat, cooking, and light, the dam is a symbol of hope, pride, and a brighter future. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @trussliz @UKParliament @WorldResources pic.twitter.com/CsyXhJJ8oh Share on X

21

When it reaches full capacity and all 13 turbines are feeding into the national power grid, #GERD will boost Ethiopia’s industrialization, revolutionize the living standards of millions of its citizens, and earn the country badly needed income frompwer sale. #GERD … Share on X

From now on, there will be nothing that will stop Ethiopia. (The dam) will not disrupt the River Nile’s natural flow. - Ethiopian PM H.E DR Abiy Ahmed #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @MikeHammerUSA @Reuters @ChrisCoons @bpolitics @BBCAfrica @HouseForeign pic.twitter.com/75sOqt51Ux Share on X

The Great Renaissance dam of Ethiopia was designed only to generate electricity, its sole purpose is lighting Ethiopia’s dark households! #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @CNNAfrica @AJEnglish @AsstSecStateAF @EUSR_Weber @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @hr  @EUSR_Weber… Share on X

Ethiopia is making every effort to maintain the flow of Blue Nile while the reservoir is being filled yearly during months of the rainy season. After 3 fillings, Sudanese officials reported no noticeable decrease in the water level of the Nile traveling to their nation #GERD Share on X

25

#GERD increases the 50% available water at Sudan even under dry conditions and expanded irrigation. Even in the driest possible river flow situations where the release from #GERD may get as low as 25 BCM the 50% available flow is about 38% more than without the dam #AFRICAN_DAM Share on X

26

The #GERD will provide benefits to Egypt and Sudan, including increased water flow during dry seasons and decreased flooding events. Let's work together towards a solution that benefits all. #GERD #AFRICAN_DAM @LaetitiaBader @KenRoth @UKParliament pic.twitter.com/gglNTdLbqc Share on X

Ethiopia is constructing the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (#GERD) on the Blue Nile to generate hydropower. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM #GERD  @LaetitiaBader @KenRoth @amnest  @BradSherman  @UKParliament @EU_Commission @eucopresident @vonderleyen… Share on X

Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is a beacon of light designed to electrify the lives of countless Ethiopians who have lived in darkness. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @JanezLenarcic @IWAHQ @USAmbUN @CanadaFP @eu_eeas @JosepBorrellF @trussliz @UKParliament pic.twitter.com/g8ArIWQSle Share on X

The Great Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is, not just a construction of steel and concrete, rather a powerful testament to Ethiopia's ability to craft a radiant future. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @MikeHammerUSA @Reuters @ChrisCoons @bpolitics @BBCAfrica pic.twitter.com/PiATtJ77jj Share on X

The #GERD would serve as a timeless reminder of the vision and determination that sparked Ethiopia's march towards self-reliance and advancement. #GERD  #AFRICAN_DAM @HouseForeign @CNNAfrica @AJEnglish @AsstSecStateAF @EUSR_Weber @SFRCdems pic.twitter.com/7wSSXIJRzX Share on X
