At present, 28 percent of East Africa's national power supply comes from hydropower, which is an astonishingly large share; after all, in the previous life, even in the Far East Empire, hydropower accounted for less than 20 percent.
Yet East Africa's hydropower resources are far from fully developed and still have huge room for growth. The reason hydropower development accounts for such a large proportion in East Africa, apart from natural advantages, is also closely related to the country's specific conditions.
After all, most regions of East Africa have a demand for water storage, because the domestic climate in East Africa is mainly tropical savanna, divided into rainy and dry seasons. This predestines East Africa to build a large number of water conservancy projects to impound the water from the rainy season and ensure water for industrial and agricultural use.
