Historic ground breaking ceremony completed for Rusumo dam to serve Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania

Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi have launched the construction activities of the regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project in Ngara, Tanzania.

The project, first conceived two decades back, will when completed deliver a shared hydropower plant with installed capacity of 80 megawatts of renewable, clean, low cost power to benefit the population in the three benefiting countries.

Each of the three countries will receive an additional 26.6 megawatts directly connected to their respective national grid through the transmission lines benefiting over one million people in the three countries.

Prof Sospeter Muhongo, Tanzania’s minister of Energy and Minerals led the groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday by scooping earth with a grader at the construction site.

“This is a historic day for the three countries. We take recognition the Nile Basin Initiative platform and specifically its investment arm, the Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program Coordination Unit (NELSAP-CU), which facilitated and coordinated the countries to move project forward,” said the council of energy ministers of the three countries in a statement.

At the launch, the Council of Ministers in charge of Energy from Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania for the Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project, were joined by Ministers of Water and Finance from Burundi, Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), World Bank, African Development Bank, African Union and NEPAD delegates.

“We are very delighted today of the fact, the trans-boundary shared Rusumo Falls project has finally come to life, after more than 20 years since it was first identified,” the ministers said in their statement.

The Rusumo falls is located on the Kagera River on the border between Rwanda (Southeast) and Tanzania (Northwest) and about 25 kilometers downstream of Burundi, Rwanda and Tanzania common border point. The Falls are approximately 15 meters high and 40 meters wide.

The Regional Rusumo Falls Hydroelectric Project is owned by the three countries through a Special Purpose Vehicle, the Rusumo Power Company Ltd (RPCL) and mandated Nile Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Program Coordination Unit (NELSAP-CU) to implement the project on their behalf.

The Construction of the Hydroelectric power plant is funded by the World Bank at a cost $340 million. The project is being constructed by two contractors CGCOC Group and JWHC JV from China for Civil Works and ANDRITZ Hydro from Germany/India for Electro-Mechanical works. The Rusumo Hydropower Project is scheduled to be completed and commissioned by 2020.

Kwani cha muhimu nn location ya kituo au watu wapate umeme

Ishu za kujenga vituo vya umeme ni kutokana na hesabu za kiengineering, na sio utashi wa kiongozi. Upotezee mda kujadili hivyo vitu

Nikileta preliminary design studies kabla ya JPM hajaingia madarakani utasemaje Bwn Engineer?

Kenyans still paying less for fuel compared to Uganda, Tanzania​

As the fuel prices crisis goes on, Kenyans ae currently enjoying the cheap petrol prices compared to Uganda and Tanzania.
The move comes days after President Uhuru Kenyatta okayed a fresh Sh16 billion subsidy on the prices of the special commodity.
According to Kenyansdata report, the cost of petrol in Kenya is now at Sh159.12.

That’s Sh60 less than the petrol is sold in Uganda and Sh4 less than in Tanzania.
The increase in fuel prices has been attributed to instability caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and led to increase in prices of commodities and transport coast.
The move also come months after land-locked Uganda struck a deal with the Kenyan government on fuel supply.

The Uganda government demanded fixed monthly transit petroleum product quotas to ease shortages amid anxiety over a fuel crisis.
Last year, Kenyans were paying up to Sh19 more for a liter of petrol compared to Uganda and Tanzania.
This caused motorist and transporters to paying more than double what their counterparts in the neighboring countries were paying.
The fuel crisis in Kenya made some motorist to flee to the neighboring countries to get fuel at affordable price.

Hehee. Mradi unajengwa kwa nchi tatu na kwa fedha za nje, ila eti unaechelewa na mtu mmoja 😀

Afu pengine Tanzania itakuwa moja ya nchi za Africa ambazo zitaachana na matumizi ya diesel ili kuzalisha umeme

wapi nime-mention JPM ndio sababu ya kuchelewa? Hili kabila la Magovinda bana? Kila mradi watataka kutuaminisha ni JPM kafanikisha, hata ya World Bank inayofanyika under Nile Basin initiative!

Yes the location of power transmission station matters a lot as far as power loss is concerned! Ukiwa na akili ya ugovinda tu hutaona tatizo!

Jana nilikuwa na Wakenya na mganda mmoja tunapiga story baada ya kuwa tumetoka chimbo mahali.....aiseeh!!! Mkenya mmoja(Mkalenjin) akawa anatuambia kitu ambacho nilitamani kushare nanyi,alisema;

"Unajua kiukweli wakenya wengi tukiwa primary,secondary hadi university,walimu pamoja na lectures walikuwa wanatuaminisha kuwa hapa EA kenya ndio kila kitu,huwezi ukapata vitu vizuri nje ya Nairobi au Kenya ila baada ya Globalization hasa ujio wa social network imetufanya tufahamu kwamba kenya ni kama nchi zingine tu za EA"
nikamuuliza vipi,unaionaje Tanzania ya sasa(maana jamaa katembea sana hapa EA) jamaa akaamua kufunguka;

"To be honest,Tanzania mnapiga hatua kubwa sana kuishinda ata Kenya,mambo mnayo yafanya kenya tunahitaji miaka mingine 30 ndio tuwafikie........Unajua kenya,70% project nyingi zinategemea mikopo kutoka nje na hapo bado corruption inaingia,bora yenu mna commitment ya maendeleo " mwenzake alikuwa anatikisa tu kichwa kuwa anakubaliana na mtoa mada

Ninawasihi wakenya mliomo humu jukwaani jitahidini kuwa wawazi ni sehem moja wapo ya kupunguza stress za maisha

Amka kutoka usingizini bana utajikojolea bure[emoji1787][emoji1787]
