Salini Impregilo Koysha Hydroelectric Project (2016 - ongoing)

Koysha Hydroelectric Project, located in the south west of Ethiopia, will be the fourth plant in a waterfall dam system on the Omo river. The contract for the creation of the plant (in terms of Engineering, Procurement and Construction) was signed on March 2016 by Ethiopian Electric Power, which is financing the project, and by Salini Impregilo, appointed to build the plant.
The project includes the construction of a 175 metre-high dam in Roller Compacted Concrete with a holding capacity of 6,000 million cubic metres. The plant also comprises an outdoor electric power station hosting 8 Francis turbines which will guarantee an installed power of 2,160 MW and an annual production capacity of 6,460 GWh.
