==Overview==
Finicha'a is near the Fincha Dam, which was inaugurated by Emperor Haile Selassie in November 1973. At the time the dam was the largest hydro-electric project in the country, built at a cost of over Birr 81 million and with a power output of 84 MW, more than the combined output of the other four power stations which existed at the time.〔("Local History in Ethiopia" ) The Nordic Africa Institute website (accessed 11 December 2007)〕 The hydroelectric power plant was overhauled in March 1999 by the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation at a cost of US $3 million, increasing its hydroelectric capacity to 100 MW.〔("Horn of Africa, Monthly Review, March - April 1999" ), UN-OCHA Archive (accessed 23 February 2009)〕
Previously Fincha was a location of habitat for the endangered African Wild Dog, ''Lycaon pictus'',〔C. Michael Hogan. 2009. (''Painted Hunting Dog: Lycaon pictus'', GlobalTwitcher.com, ed. N. Stromberg )〕 but that canid is thought to be extirpated from the region due to human population expansion.
