By Nick April 28, 2008
The G8 and seven African governments are planning to build the most powerful dam in the world. G8 represents top eight industrial nations in the world consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. G8 and the African governments will meet in London where they will talk about a $80 billion project for the dam over the Congo river.
The dam will be the most powerful ever built and it’s expected to double the amount of electricity on the African continent. The name of the dam will be Grand Inga and what’s certain is that it will produce twice as much electricity as the Three Gorges dam in China which is the biggest dam in the world at present.
The Gand Inga will generate about 40,000 MW, will be 150 meters high and it’s expected to be completed by 2022.
