Last month at POWER-GEN International and NUCLEAR POWER International attendants celebrated excellence by recognizing 11 finalists at Power Engineering magazine's Projects of the Year Awards. One highlight of the evening was the winner of the award for the best renewable energy project. Power Engineering selected a 300 MW hydroelectric project built by MWH for Ethiopian Electric Power Corp in Africa. The Tekeze Hydropower project adds 40% more energy to the African country. It is the tallest arch dam in Africa at 188 meters. The dam is a double curvature concrete arch dam, a method of design that minimizes the amount of concrete used. The Tekeze project not only will provide electricity tin the country, but will also provide water for irrigation and fishing.
