The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The dam is in the Metekel Zone of the Benishangul-Gumuz Region, close to the border with Sudan.
- Constructed between 2011 and 2025, the dam's primary purpose is electricity production to relieve Ethiopia's acute energy shortage and to export electricity to neighbouring countries.
- With an installed capacity of 5.15 gigawatts, the dam is the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa and among the 20 largest in the world.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam article was read about 170,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 97: each hit it takes is cut by 39 %.
