SYMBION POWER TO START TRIAL POWER GENERATION IN TANZANIA THIS WEEK


U.S.-based Symbion Power is to start trial power generation at its 120 megawatts thermal power plants in Tanzania this week, an official said Monday.

The power will be supplied to Tanzania's state power utility, TANESCO, as discussions over the power purchase agreement continue, an official with TANESCO told Dow Jones Newswires.

"They will be supplying us with power generated from the trial period starting Tuesday," the official said.

Symbion officials could not be reached for an immediate comment.

Tanzania's peak power demand is estimated at 820 MW, against the generation of around 560 MW, the country is targeting to increase power generation to 1,000 MW by 2013.

Symbion Power acquired the 120 MW fuel-fired thermal plants earlier this month. The plants, which previously belonged to DOWANS Tanzania Ltd., haven't been in operation for over a year following a power supply dispute between TANESCO and DOWANS.

These are good news! @ least loadshedding will be minimized, and voltage improvement will be maximized

However generation is more than a thousand and not 560 MW as quoted above, the 560 MW is hydro generation only

Thermal and diesel plant add the other 500 MW

Kwenye taarifa hii sijaona sehemu ambayo tanesco wamesema watanunua huo umeme wakati wa majaribio. nadhani symbion ( kama jina lao lilivyo) hawako mbioni kuuza wao wanawaonjesha kwanza TANESCO, ili tanesco wakinogewa wanunue.

Sijui ni Rushwa au kuonjesha (kama biashara ya njugu)

Mkuu hata mimi nimejiuliza kama Taneco would have to pay for the trial. Still I can't see Symbion supplying power for free even if is just a trial.

 

[Kobello]

Short term solutions that limits long term/permanent solutions.
When are we going to invest in renewable sources?
I was embarrassed watching news here in US,about symbion in Tanzania,
I flipped the channel and went to Bloomberg,and see Germany shedding her nuclear plants by 2022,
And just learnt that they generate 27,000MW from wind!!!

This is a step backwards!!....stop complementing!

 

[Mtazamaji]

Mkuu hata mimi nimejiuliza kama Taneco would have to pay for the trial. Still I can't see Symbion supplying power for free even if is just a trial.

Huu ni usanii hata hiyo "trial" ni jina la ubatizo tu au jina la kuwafanya watanzania wasahau Dowans .Tutaambiwa wametoa hizo 100MW bila faida but lazima walipwe adminsitration au Running cost. Bepari gani aingine gharama 100%. Hakuna ni meng tu hatujui ya yalikubaliwa nyuma ya pazia na wanajua kwa nini wanaongea kwa mafungu mafungu.

These are good news! @ least loadshedding will be minimized, and voltage improvement will be maximized

However generation is more than a thousand and not 560 MW as quoted above, the 560 MW is hydro generation only

Thermal and diesel plant add the other 500 MW

Eng Nsiande hivi inabidi tufarijikee na short term solution kama hizi.????? hata kama zina historia mbaya. Waht i can sense Seriali imeutupia mzigo TANESSCO na TANESCO iko hoi kiasi hata integrity ya uwezo wao kunegotiate kwa manufaa ya taifa ni mdogo sana.

 

[Avatar Myg]

Kinachoudhi ni jinsi wanatoa habari Marekani badala ya kwa Watanzania. Hii ni DHARAU!!
Kwa nini wasituambie sisi kwanza?

Duh!.. Hawatuthamini kabisa,
Lakini usikute ni vyombo vyetu vya habari ndio havijatutaarifu!

 

[Avatar Myg]

Mtanzania hatishiki na hilo swala la Udini kaka. DINI ni yako na mungu wako watanzania sasa hivi ni welefu hichi kitu kinaitwa dini hawakipi muda wa kupoteza.

Mzima kweli wewe!?

 

[engmtolera]

NINA UHURU WA KUSEMA

Bado si amini kinachotokea,hivi ni kweli Tanesco wameamuwa kuingia tena mkataba na kampuni ambayo haina hata uzoefu wa kufanya kazi hiyo, ninani ambaye yupo nyuma ya hili?,hivi haoni kuwa anataka kutuingiza ktk janga lingine tena kama lile la awali?

eeee mungu tuepushe na kikombe hiki

 

[mwl]

Mfumo kristo huo, ukiongozwa na kuratibiwa na Mlutheran Jakaya Kikwete (MKWELLE ).

Matola wewe mwenyewe unaharisha halafu unataka ujambishwe, inakuwaje?

 

[Keykey]

Tayari wameshawasha na umeme wao umeingizwa kwenye Grid. Mie naona mgawo umeisha kimya kimya na tofauti ya umeme wa Symbion na ule wetu wa Mtera bado sijaiona.
Nadhani wakati umefika wahandisi wapewe nafasi kufanya kazi yao pasipo kuingiliwa na wanasiasa.

 

[Kibanga Ampiga Mkoloni]

Good News, Taifa linahitaji hizo 120 megawati kwa hivi sasa, Dowans waendelee na kesi yao mpaka kieleweke ila sisi tunataka umeme ili uchumi isiendelee kuyumba.

Ile mtambo si 112 Megawatts Jamani? 120 mmetoa wapi? hivi aproximation ya 112 ni 120?

 

[Kibanga Ampiga Mkoloni]

Ilikuwa vigumu sana kwa dowans na watangulizi wake kukubali hivivi kukosa biashara yenye urahisi wa kuvuna faida,mifumo yote ya kibepari
ndivyo inavyofanya kazi,na kwa sababu biashara yenyewe ilikuwa na mkono wa dola basi ni dola hiyo hiyo inaendeleza mambo hayo hayo,
Kumbuka Al adawi alipokuja hapa na kutupiga mkwara tukanywea wakati zamani alikana kumiliki dowans lakini alikiri kwamba ni yake,ili haya mambo yaishe ni lazima wengine wenye nia njema washike dola,lets fight for the regime and regulation change!

Wacha kupotosha!!!!!

 

[nyabhingi]

Yaani mimi nakasirika nasikia kulia kabisa kwa nini watawala wanatudharau na kutufanya sisi punguwani,nchi inapokosa heshima,inakuwa picha mbaya sana kimataifa,kila kikampuni kitakuja na kutuyummbisha wanavyotaka,its very frustrating ,i never thought i will live to see this mess

badala ya kupoteza muda kulialia ungekuwa unanoa panga,...freedom is never given,it is taken.
how long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look??

 

[JajiMkuu]

tender iliyompa symbion ushindi ilitangwa lini? Na wakati inatangwa symbion walikuwa na uwezo wa kuzalisha umeme kwa maana ya kuwa na mitambo? Mapitio yangu ya website ya symbion yanaonyesha kuwa hii ni symbion ni contractor wa kujenga miundo mbinu ya kusafirishia umeme (high way lines) na siyo wazalishaji wa umeme

hii ni richmond nambari 2, hatukomi!

 

[Mamushka]

mafisadi hawakomi mpaka watumalize makalio yetu

Uwi wameanza na makalio tena, basi kushneh.

Symbion Power



DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania, May 30, 2011

/PRNewswire/ -- Responding to recent press reports, Washington based power company Symbion Power has confirmed that they have indeed signed an agreement to acquire a 120 MW power plant in Tanzania.
Alongside current options for the equipment internationally, Symbion intends to submit a bid proposal to Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO). The plant has recently been tested by independent engineers and has been confirmed to be in excellent running order and able to produce power at short notice.

Symbion has joined forces with ProEnergy Services, a U.S. based multi-national integrated service provider to the energy sector, who operate and maintain power plants on a global basis. ProEnergy Services has extensive aero-derivative gas turbine operation and maintenance experience, and will act as Symbion's Technical Services Partner.


In Tanzania, Symbion Power already has extensive electrification contracts that are funded by the U.S. Government through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as the Tanzanian Rural Electrification Agency and TANESCO. Symbion's work encompasses the construction of 3000km of overhead power lines and 26 substations across 8 regions in Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Paul Hinks, Chief Executive Officer, Symbion Power said, "the negotiations with the former owner have been challenging and, as a consequence of past reports, we have undertaken extensive due diligence. This due diligence also encompassed the thorough examination and testing of the equipment to ensure that it is in excellent condition. The results have been positive; the plant has been very well maintained."

Hinks went on to say, "it gives me great pleasure to be able to move to the next phase which is to offer electricity to TANESCO and to the people of Tanzania at a time when load shedding and disruption to consumers is worsening. The 120 MW that this plant can deliver would have a significant impact on the power situation in Tanzania." Hinks continued, "We want to keep the plant in Tanzania, but if TANESCO does not wish to utilize our services, we have other opportunities for its use overseas. This is a mobile plant that can be moved easily.

Chairman, Symbion Power Africa, Ambassador (ret.) Joseph Wilson said, "the Symbion Ubungo power plant has been sitting idle for almost three years while this country has faced and continues to face extraordinary challenges as a result of a shortage of power generation capacity. On behalf of the Board of Directors of Symbion Power and all our staff in Tanzania and elsewhere, I am proud to say that the plant can now be revived and I am hopeful that the Government of Tanzania will be interested in engaging our services."

Symbion Power is an American company that specializes in developing complex turnkey electric power infrastructure systems, including transmission lines, substations and switchyards and thermal power plants, in regions of the world where conflict and instability are major impediments to progress. The company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has offices in several other countries www.symbion-power.com.
