Ethiopian Hydro Plant Suffers Setback (NY Times) - A tunnel collapse has closed the largest hydropower plant operating in Ethiopia, only 10days after its inauguration. The event was attributed to “an unforeseen geological event,” which caused a partial collapse inside a 16-mile water tunnel at the newly opened Gibe II hydropower plant, according to a statement from the Italian construction firm behind the project, Salini Costruttori.

Ethiopian government admits major dam collapse - Ethiopian government has confirmed the collapse of the recently inaugurated Gilgel Gibe II hydropower plant; the biggest of the country’s power producing dams with a capacity of 420MW, supplying over a third of the country’s total electricity supply.

Ethiopia: New hydropower plant shuts - The latest hydropower plant in Ethiopia - Gilgel Gibe II - has seized to operate within weeks since its inauguration due to tunnel rock fall in its critical water-passage system.
