The Cahora Bassa Dam is located in Mozambique. It is one of two major dams on the Zambezi river, the other being the Kariba. The project began to come online in 1979 after much political debate.[1] This dam is used to convert the Zambezi River power into electricity by turning turbines. That energy is then sent to South Africa.[2] The Cahora Bassa dam forms Cahora Bassa Lake. The dam is jointly owned by Mozambique and Portugal. From independence until 2007, eighteen percent of the dam and lake was owned by Mozambique and eighty-two percent by Portugal.[3] Portugal sold down its share to 15 percent in 2007.[4] The Cahora Bassa dam is the largest hydroelectric power plant in southern Africa and the most efficient power generating station in Mozambique.
