摘要：
February 2022 saw the first official electricity produced by what will be,once fully operational,Africa’s largest hydropower dam,the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD)(Fig.1)[1].It is just one of the latest milestones in an ongoing global boom in a hydropower dam industry pulled from the doldrums by the urgent need to produce climate-friendly energy for a global population with a growing demand for electricity [2].
