The proposed cost for renaisance dam 6000MW in Ethiopia is to cost twice Karuma 600mw dam. Ethiopia, which is currently building a railway line between Sabeta and Mieso in the Northern part of the country, is building it’s standard guage line at $3.8 million a kilometre. The 513km Railway line in Uganda is planned to 8bn dollars - which is about 15.6M dollars per kilometre( 4 times more than ethiopia line). The simple explanation in difference variations in reflects differences in altitude, gradient, geographical conditions, the cost of labour, steel and cement. But should really those the magnitude of variation on cost?
