Battle: Dar es Salaam vs Nairobi

[Papi Chulo]

Kenya does not purchase any electricity from Ethiopia. Transmission line kati ya Kenya na Ethiopia bado haijakamilika.
Kenya inagenerate 2,800 MW na tunatumia 1,800 MW. Hio ina maana kuwa Kenya tuna surplus ya 1,000 MW. Sisi tuna umeme ya kutosha hatuhitaji kununua kutoka kwenu. Huwa tunanunua kutoka Uganda kwa sababu electricity grid ya Kenya haijafika kwa border ya Uganda kwa hivyo zaidi ya miaka hamsini iliyopita tuliruhusu Uganda kusambaza umeme kwa towns zilizo kwenye border, kwa mfano Busia. Ila sasa hivi tunajenga transmission line kuelekea maeneo hayo ya border na mradi upo 70% complete. Hivi karibuni tutawacha kununua umeme kutoka Uganda kwa ajili ya border towns.

Ahsante kwa kukubali kuwa mnanunua umeme uganda..hizo zingine ni porojo

Jambo moja zuri zaidi ni huu mpango wa kusambaza pipe za gasi hadi katika nyumba kwa ajili ya kupikia, zaidi ya nyumba 500 zimeshaunganishwa Dar, Mtwara na Lindi zoezi linakwenda kwa kasi Sana.

Zaidi ya gari 1000 zimeshafungwa mitungi ya gesi zinatumia gesi, Mabasi ya mwendo kasi ifikapo 2023 yoteeyatakua yanatumia gesi. Hiyo ndio Tanzania ambayo Kenya inajaribu kujilinganisha nayo.

hii ndio progress ya mataifa yetu ya Africa sasa. pia electric cars tunafaa ku embrace especially in this decade.

There has been a rise of LPG powered vehicles in Kenya over the last 10years. Electric cars are now as common in Nairobi as regular petrol vehicles.

Nice electric cars is the way to go ..

Serengeti. Tanzania has endorsed a maiden rollout of electric safari vehicle at its flagship national park of Serengeti in an effort to reduce gas emissions.

Mount Kilimanjaro Safari Club (MKSC) is a pioneer tour company operating in Tanzania to release the first 100 per cent electric safaris car (e-car) in East Africa, in its latest initiative to bring down vehicular pollution within the national parks.

“The e-car reduces maintenance costs; it doesn’t use fuel as it is 100 per cent ecological charging, thanks to solar panels,” MKSC managing director Dennis Lebouteux said.

At first, Mr Lebouteux was not convinced that the technology could work in Africa, as is the case with Europe where there is ready-made infrastructure.

“But I told myself, I could try because we have a lot of solar power that can charge the vehicles. We tried with the first two cars in June and after four months of operation there has neither been a single breakdown nor service,” he explained.

Serengeti National Park chief warden William Mwakilema said he had received e-cars wholeheartedly as he believed they would help reduce pollution. Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority chief conservator Fred Manongi underscored the need for the country to embrace e-vehicles. Tanzania Association of Tour Operators chairman Wilbard Chambulo commended the project, saying e-cars were good.

“Taking into account that prices of fuel are increasing, e-vehicles are ideal because they will save foreign currencies used for importing oil. I believe tourism will receive the technology wholeheartedly,” he said.

The French Embassy representative, Mr Philippe Galli, said his country’s French companies were fully supported in campaigns against bad effects of climate change by protecting nature.

Climate change may refer to a change in average weather conditions, or in the time variation of weather within the context of longer-term average conditions.

Where do you get LPG from?, do you understand the whole concept for Tanzania to increase utilization of gas for domestic and vehicles?. We are not discussing just for the sake of show off the way you do, try to learn from Tony254 how he build and support his argument.

election ni 2022 ila joto lake lipo 2020 😂😂😂😂

Hahahaha sasa wanaanza campaign kabla NEC yao haijawaruhusu?

Halafu Kenya ni ghetto republic yaani makamu wa Rais anainanga serikali anayoiongoza na Rais ambae ni mkuu wake 🤣🤣🤣 hivi mama Samia anaweza kumnanga Magu? 😂

 

[Geza Ulole]

Tony 254 ujue ..huwa nakuheshimu sana..ila sasa unaingiza feelings kwenye argument..

Sawa Tz demand ni around 1500-1700 depending on peak hours...so we should wait hadi tuwe na demand ndo tuanze kujenga..?

Cha pili i assure you it wont take more than 5 yrs huu mradi utakuwa umeisha ...

Cha tatu ..Tunajenga SGR ya Umeme sio ya Mawese kama yenu....
Phase 1 tu inaweza ikala zaidi ya 70MW ..

Pipeline ya Uganda itaanza kujenga itatumia umeme

Tunamigodi mingi haijaungwa na umeme Mgodi mmoja unaweza kula Hata 50MW hata mpka 100mW

Residential areas zinakuwa na miji inakua ...mfano majengo ya pspf tu at full demand linaweza kula hata MW 3-5


Tuna expand ports na viwanda vinajengwa vipya...

Unataka kutuambia 2115mW ni white elephant..

Vipi nyie wenye demand ya 1800-2000mw ..na mnazalisha surplus ya 300-400mW..

Kingine East african power pool itauza excess kwao na Southern Africa power pool kwa SADC countries! Unir cost a determining factor!

Dar to Reap From EAC Power Master Plan

25 AUGUST 2020
Tanzania Daily News (Dar es Salaam)
By Deus Ngowi


PRESIDENT John Magufuli's decision and unwavering stance to construct the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHPP) is destined to put Tanzania on a comparative advantage over her East African Community (EAC) compatriots.

The hydroelectric dam, which upon completion is expected to produce 2,115 megawatts of electricity, will see the country that has just jumped to a middle-income status have a surplus of power for export, further strengthening its financial muscles.

As the EAC Secretariat has called for a validation workshop to draft a final report for consultancy services to Package EAC Power System Master Plan, it has emerged that the power sub-sector key objectives include cooperation on sectors for regional interest and development of regional interconnections.

The EAC workshop that will take place virtually on September 4th this year, will discuss the initiative in regards to the master plan and collaboration and partnerships with regional organisations working in the Power sub-sector, to foster regional power trade Cross-Border Electrification Programme.

The East African Power Master Plan is a strategic least cost power development plan for the EAC. It identifies a least cost generation and transmission expansion plan to meet the region's growing power demand from 2013 to 2038.

The Master Plan addresses technical requirements and economic viability, taking into consideration the generation resources available in the region and opportunities for power exchange among EAC partner states as well as power exchange with other regions.

An Interconnection Code developed with the Master Plan guides design and operation of electricity interconnections in the Region. The Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) has developed a gap analysis tool, to assist member power utilities assess their compliance to the Interconnection Code.

All power utilities in the EAC are members of EAPP and are working closely to be fully compliant to the Interconnection Code in readiness for regional power trade when the region becomes fully interconnected.

EAC Secretary General, speaking on the Master Plan, was of the view that implementation of projects has shown a positive improvement on power supply.

He noted that the partner states' electricity generation capacities exceeding their peak demands will rise to significant levels, when committed generation projects in the states are commissioned from about 555MW in 2017 to about 7,480MW by 2022.

In the sector, he said, there has been an unprecedented level of resources mobilised.

Together with joint development of power projects for regional benefit, development of regional power market and exchange of technical and strategic information means that Tanzania will stand first among the other five member states and will be selling more electricity to them and beyond.

The National Development Corporation (NDC) Managing Director, Professor Damian Gabagambi expressed his optimism that when the power plant is completed and power production starts, Tanzania will have a comparative advantage in several fronts over other EAC partner states and beyond.

Professor Gabagambi said by getting the said megawatts, it means the country will have a lot to export in line with the EAC Power Master Plan and collect much more revenue than others due to the fact that it will be producing far much electricity.

"Given the size of the project, it is evident that Tanzania will have comparative advantage over the other EAC countries in the East African Power Master plan and going by the demand and supply in price determination. We will sell a lot of electricity and get a lot of foreign currency," Professor Gabagambi added.

He was also of the opinion that availability of enough power in the country will lead to stable supply and hence construction of many industries and factories for production of goods. The goods, he said, will also be exported in the region and beyond, earning the country a lot of foreign currencies.

The Tanzania Chamber of Commerce Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) Regional Executive Officer in Kilimanjaro region, Mr Boniface Mariki hailed President Magufuli for daring to execute the long-planned project that will result in production and supply of power in surplus of requirement.

He said the demand for power has not been met by supply, so challenges facing owners of big and small industries are enormous and will be solved by the grand project then will see Tanzania export more goods. The surplus power will then be filtered in the regional power master plan that is on the threshold of completion.

"This is actually a good project that was delayed for decades; at last we will be there soon and get enough and stable power supply for our industries, supermarkets etc. The surplus will be channeled to the other countries as outlined in the EAC Power Master Plan. We will, with no doubt emerge the biggest suppliers in the region and beyond," said the TCCI executive.

The strategic and timely decision to construct the project along the Rufiji River, Coast Region, by a joint venture of Egyptian companies - Arab Contractors and El Sewedy Electric Co at a cost of 3.6 billion US dollars that is around 6.55tri/- will start paying off through sale of electricity internationally, but also reduce the power cost to companies, industries, institutions and individuals within the country.

The Energy Minister, Dr Medard Kalemani said recently that the government had already paid 1.19tri/- out of the total cost.
EAC has developed a Cross-Border Electrification Programme in its efforts to increase access in a cost-effective manner. It will enable border centres to access electricity from the nearest grid. The programme enables border towns to connect from the neighbouring partner state at distribution voltage when it is more economical than connecting with the grid within its own country.

The EAC Cross-Border Electrification Policy governs the implementation of the programme as well as development of shared renewable energy resources such as small hydro power projects. To further facilitate expeditious conclusion of cross-border electrification contracts between power utilities, a Model Power Supply Agreement template has been adopted.

Tanzania is a member of EAPP that was established in 2005 by Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Sudan. Tanzania, Libya and Uganda joined EAPP in March 2010, February 2011 and December 2012 respectively.

Yeah ...kuna vitu vingi bado serikali za africa hazijawa active..electric cars zina benefit sana na ni cheaper kuliko Gas cars...as in kama nchi zina surplus ya umeme na zinazalisha umeme at a cheaper price

Swala lingine ambalo naona serikali inabidi li support kwa manufaa ya taifa lake ni science and technology hasa upande wa finance ..transaction za hela hasa kwa mtandao wa simu bado zina cost sana ..wanaweza ananzisha cyptocurrency kwa kutumia blockchain itayorahisisha kutuma na kupokea pesa hasa heavy transactions..wanaojua Ripple XRP watakuwa wamenielewa

 

[toptorn]

Mimi siongei kuhusu transmission lines. Transmission lines ni rahisi kujenga. Mimi naongea kuhusu mradi wenyewe. Huo mradi wa Nyerere hydro itachukua miaka kumi kukamilika, that is, kwa bahati nzuri ikiwa haitakufa kifo cha mende.
Hata ikikamilika itagenerate 2,000 MW na total power generation itakuwa 3,500 MW. Huu mradi ni white elephant kwa sababu demand ya umeme TZ ni 1,500 MW sasa hivi na miaka miwili zijazo itakuwa pengine 1,700 MW. Sasa mradi huu utakapozinduliwa miaka miwili zijazo, TZ itakuwa inagenerate 3,500 MW ilhali nyie mtakuwa mnatumia 1,700 pekee na kupoteza 1,800 MW. Hio ni kutupa pesa. Nchi yenu haina viwanda vya kutosha ili kujustify kujenga hydropower kubwa hivyo. Mtavuja pesa sana. 80% ya hio power haitatumika.

Kwa hiyo unasubiri uwekezaji ndio ujenge infrastructure? We subiri bidhaa kutoka Tz zishuke bei kutokana na low operating cost ndio mtaanza kama kawaida yenu kulialia mitandaoni mkijiuliz viongozi wenu walikua wanafanya nini wakati sisi tukifanya haya yote.
Pia nadhani huna habari kuwa tunajenga SGR za umeme Mtwara - Mbambabay mipakani mwa Malawi, Zamibia na DRC. Nyingine Arusha - Musoma. Kwa taarifa yako huo umeme haututoshi

despite the fact that we do not mine gas, we're not limited to innovation. I'm merely pointing out that the same way we do not mine gas, you do not produce geo thermal power or oil etc
plus any neutral party here can clearly understand that this is pure show off👇
you could've just posted the plant but don't ask us to show you the same, we've got different natural resources.

mwambie akuoneshe mradi kama huu wa gesi kinyerezi uone kama atapata👇👇

let's hope they actually implement it, that would be awesome.

Halafu Kenya ni ghetto republic yaani makamu wa Rais anainanga serikali anayoiongoza na Rais ambae ni mkuu wake hivi mama Samia anaweza kumnanga Magu?

Hiyo ndio maana halisi ya leadership failure in a failed state

haya yote yanawezekana. shida ipo ni corrupt leaders ambao wana nia ya kukitajirisha na kula mali ya umma tu bila kufikiria hali ya wengine. tungekuwa na viongozi wanaofikiria miaka 50 zijazo kama Elon Musk tusingekuwa hivi kama Africa.
ila wananchi wanajaribu hata kushinda serikali badala ya vise versa. mfano huku Kenya kuna enterprises nyingi zinakubali kulipwa na crypto currency including matatus na hata butcheries ambayo nimeyaona mimi mwenyewe.

 

[Ngokongosha]

election ni 2022 ila joto lake lipo 2020 😂😂😂😂

Si unajua wanapenda kutuiga, wakiona tuna uchaguzi wanatamani na wao wawe na uchaguzi

 

[Naton Jr]

Hiyo ndio maana halisi ya leadership failure in a failed state

Failed state kweli, huyu jamaa kila siku ni kusunguka makanisani na kwenye majimbo kuongea siasa na mambo ya uchaguzi kwa kutumia pesa za walipa kodi, mbona ni nadra sana kumuona makamu wa huku akifanya shughuli isio ya kimaendeleo

Samia utamuona akizindua miradi au kufuatilia utendaji wa shughuli za serikali na huduma za Jamii huwezi kumuona anaenda mahali bila agenda ya msingi ya kimaendeleo, yaani hawa wana miaka miwili mbele ya siasa na sio kazi na walivyofilisika hata mishahara hawawezi kulipa huku makampuni yakifunga uzalishaji kila siku, mpaka 2022 watakua kaburini kabisa.
