It has been almost three months since the first turbine start generating power.
A senior official of the Renaissance Dam, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Reporter that the flow of water into the dam has been increasing since mid-June.

He said the maximum amount of water will be seen in August, as the water level varies and increases in the months following the onset of winter.
