The Grand Renaissance Dam (GERD) in Ethiopia is a massive infrastructure undertaking that has sparked intense debate on a global scale. The dam, which is located on the Blue Nile River, has the power to alter Ethiopia's energy structure and accelerate economic development. However, Egypt and Sudan, two countries that will be affected downstream by the dam, are worried about how it might affect their access to and security of supply of the Nile waters. The looming question in this complex situation is whether Ethiopia will be willing to give up on its plans for hydropower in order to satisfy Egypt's and Sudan's regional concerns.
