Emergency plant to ease power rationing

FJM said:

Hivi Tanzania tunahitaji umeme megawatts ngapi? mbona kila nchi tajiri iko hapa kutusaidia umeme lakini bado mgao upo? Marekani na Symbion yao wap, Agreko wamerudi, Songosongo wapo, Kiwira nayo tena,Norway wamo na sasa Sweden?

Mkuu FJM, utitiri wa makampuni unaongezeka lakini mgao ndio unazidi kushamiri. Ni uzembe wa hali ya juu wa hawa wanaojiita Viongozi wakuendelea kuingia mikataba chungu nzima ya umeme kiduchu kiduchu ambao hautoshelezi kabisa mahitaji ya nchi nzima. Wangekuwa makini basi wangeingia mkataba mmoja mkubwa wa 2000MW ili Watanzania tusahau kabisa matatizo ya umeme kwa miaka chungu nzima ijayo.

Hawa Symbion tumeambiwa wanazalisha chini ya kiwango chao halisi kutokana na upungufu wa gas, sasa sijui kama kutakuwa na ongezeko la uzalishaji wa gas au ndio utakuwa usanii wa kuingia mkataba mwingine halafu mwisho wa siku tunaambiwa Siemen wana uwezo wa kuzalisha 376MW lakini kutokana na upungufu wa uzalishaji wa gas kule songo songo wanazalisha 40MW.

you cant be serious


kuna mtu aliuliza ten yr plan ya umeme Tanzania iko wapi?


akili zako zote bado unafikiria nchi ambayo kesho kutwa itakuwa na watu milioni 50 ambayo inataka kuwa industrial hub ya Africa iwe na umeme wa megawatts 2000?

give me a break!


Ethiopia wana mpango wa kuzalisha 20,000in 10 yrs wewe bado unapiga hesabu za 2,000?

Huo niliouweka hapo juu ni mfano tu...haina maana kila kinachoandikwa na BaK au mchangiaji mwingine yeyote yule hapa jamvini kibebwe kizima kizima bila kukiboresha zaidi kwa manufaa ya nchi kwa miaka chungu nzima ijayo.

[h=1]Emergency plant to ease power rationing[/h]

Tanzania has turned to Swedish firm Siemens Energy for industrial gas turbines in a quick fix attempt to alleviate the power rationing crippling the country.

Siemens Energy is to supply three industrial gas turbines driven by natural gas, which is abundant in the country, with a combined capacity of 100 Megawatts, for the Ubungo power plant.

According to Tanzania Electricity Supply Company (Tanesco), the three turbines will be powered by natural gas through a pipeline from the Songo Songo gas field off the coast of Tanzania.

Tanesco communications manager Badra Masoud, told The EastAfrican in Dar es Salaam that the power plant will be constructed by Norway-based Jacobsen Electro AS and will cost about $124.8 million upon completion in June 2012.

The Tanzanian government has financed 15 per cent of the project with the balance of 85 per cent being provided by HSBC Bank of Norway under a loan agreement.

Ms Masoud said that connection to the grid is planned for late 2011, which it is hoped will bridge the 376 MW shortfall.
"Once completed, the project will fill the gap in generating electricity and improve the availability and reliability of power supply in Tanzania," she added.

A drastic drop in the water level of the Mtera hydroelectric dam in Iringa Region forced Tanesco to announce an alternating power rationing programme ushering in 12 hours of power cuts daytime and six hours at night in most regions at the end of June.

This highlights Tanzania's over-reliance on hydro power.

Tanzania's interconnected system has an installed capacity of 773 Megawatts, of which 71 per cent is hydropower.

Markus Tacke, chief executive of Siemens Energy, told The EastAfrican in Dar es Salaam last week that the turbines to be installed - the SGT-800 - are among the most efficient industrial gas turbines in the market. "With our gas turbines, we can support the development of a reliable power supply in Tanzania," he said.

In another development, a conglomerate led by British Energy Company, Globeleq, plans to invest a total of $120 million to double gas output in Tanzania for power generation.

According to Christopher Ford, the Songas managing director, the $120 million project will deliver approximately 140 million cubic feet a day of gas to Dar es Salaam that will almost fully utilise the gas reserves at Songo Songo island and allow Tanesco to boost its power generation.

mara tuna sources nyingi za pawa, mara ni ukame, mara mabomba ya gesi madogo, mara mitambo ya ubungo inatengenezwa ila umeme upo, mara IPTL mara mimi sio jua mara sijui nasema jisui tena sijui na ukiniuliza mimi sijuiMara sijui jaketi lako si sawa na umemeNimechoka, na nahisi ntakua kichaa sababu ya umeme

Hahahaha!Mi sijui, kwani mimi ni mawingu?Tunajitahidi, tunatengeneza umeme wa hewa,Megawatt 140, bado kidogo, Tumeweka order ya kiti moto roastg....oh, sorry, mitambo ya megawatt,Megawatt zilizobaki tutamuuzia masawe.Mi sijui kwa nini watz hamuelewi, au kila mtu apewe megawatt yake!
