Yes fedha zilishatolewa na JPM akaingia akikuta unajengwa kwa hiana akausimamisha kwa mwaka mzima na kulipa capacity charges ili aubadilishe uwe wake! BTW JNHPP amekuta upo chini ya 50%, na sasa ni 54% na ni fair kusema ni wao wote! only Tshs 1 trln out of Tshs 6.5 trln so far paid (less than half of total cost)!kwaiyo JNIA T3 bila kupepesa macho ni ya JK lakini Bwawa la nyerere ni la JPM na Mama? Still play arrogant anyway,never expect any less

JNHPP capable of generating power for three years in case of droughts
IN case of droughts, the Julius Nyerere Hydro Power Project has capacity to continue generating electricity for three years in a row, thanks to its over 33.5 billion reservoir.
Construction work going on at Julius Nyerere Hydro Power Project along River Rufiji.
TanRoads Engineering Consulting Unit’s Resident Engineer, John Mageni told visiting CRDB Bank Plc’s senior management and board members a fortnight ago that droughts lasting less than three years, will not make the mega project a white elephant.
Responding to questions and comments from the bank’s high profile team which was led by Board Chairman, Dr Ally Laay and Managing Director, Abdulmajid Nsekela, Eng Mageni said that the mega project which will generate 2115 megawatts of power, will stop flooding downstream.
“We expect to start refilling the dam by November this year ahead of mid next year when power generation is expected to start,” he said while responding to concerns by the bankers on the possibility of the deadline not being met because the project is only 54 complete.
The Tecu chief further noted that the mega the project’s reservoir will also provide enough space for commercial fishing, water sports including boat rides for tourists. “This area will also attract a lot investment for those willing to build hotels, restaurants for tourists who will be coming here to see the dam because of its uniqueness,” he hinted.
The JNHPP is the fourth largest in Africa and with Unesco approval that Julius Nyerere National Park remains a world heritage site, tourism will likely grow in the area once the dam is completed in June 2022.
Responding to questions on local demand to consume the power generated at the dam, acting Tanesco Managing Director, Engineer Pakaya Mtamakaya said local consumption is set grow due to industrialization.
“But we will also export to neighbouring countries which have demand, we talking about countries like Mozambique, Malawi and Zambia,” Eng Mtamakay said while stressing that the countries’ economic growth and government’s rural electrification will increase demand.
CRDB Board Chairman, Dr Ally Laay and Managing Director, Abdulmajid Nsekela said their decision to invest in the mega project was right and that shareholders of the bank should expect more dividend payment from more profits to be generated. “I can assure my fellow investors that our money is safe in this project,” Dr Laay said after the site visit.
Nsekela whose bank has already provided more that 1trn/- in bridge financing to the project to help contractors proceed without hiccups as they await government payment, promised to provide more credit if required to do so. The mega project is being implemented by a joint venture of Arab Contractors and Elsewedy Electric of Egypt at a cost of over 6.5trn/-.
