The Soubre hydroelectric dam, the largest of its kind in Cote d'Ivoire and being built by a Chinese company, has entered its final stage of construction before officially initiating electricity generation later in the year.

With an installed capacity of 275 MW and an annual output of 1,100 gigawatt hours (GWH), the 4.5 km long Soubre dam is among the most powerful and largest power generation centers in the sub-region.
