Inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam: vision turned into reality

Tomorrow, 9 September 2025, marks the inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa’s largest hydropower Plant (6000 MW). Conceived in the 1960s by the visionary Giorgio Pietrangeli, it embodies a far-sighted plan to harness the power of the Blue Nile for hydroelectric generation and to enhance the management of this immense water resource.
We are proud to recognize the decisive contribution of Studio Pietrangeli to the design of this extraordinary project — today a symbol of vision, engineering, and sustainable development — brought to life through the mastery of WeBuild.
