        I don't think the comparison is fair; in fact it is misleading as only a fraction of the ~100m popul'n has access to electricity

        cos those Dams are affecting millions downstream. I don't think surplus power will compensate the negative effects

        Very insightful. Would also be interesting to see the corresponding per capita income figures.

        If "average Ethiopian" is calculated by dividing electricity supplied by population, this is a fatuous stat. Too many w/o access.
