Tanesco wametutaarifu kuwa vyanzo vyote vya mabwawa yanayofua umeme yamepatwa na upungufu wa maji na hivyo uwezo wa kuzalisha umeme ni mdogo. Consequently jana tulikuwa hatuna umeme (total blackout) kuanzia saa 4 usiku hadi saa 2 asubuhi ya leo.
Sasa hizo hela kwanini tunaziharibu na kuharibu mazingira kwa kitu ambacho hakitakuwa na manufaa kama ilivyotegemewa. Mabadiriko ya tabia nchi yanatwambia kuwa maji itakuwa ni shida na ndiyo maana mvua za vuli mwaka huu ni kama hakuna kabisa!
Nishati mbadala ni ipi? Nadhani tuliangalia hili kama njia mbadala wa hili bwawa la 2100 Mega watts

Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station
Description
Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station is a hydroelectric dam under construction across the Rufiji River in eastern Tanzania. Although controversial, the government approved the plans in 2018. The power station is expected to have an installed capacity of 2,115 megawatts and to produce 5,920GWh of power annually.
Risks to operation
There are a number of risks to the effective functioning of the Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower Project, if it is completed.
One of these comes from climate change. It is unclear if the total rainfall in Tanzania will increase or decrease, but studies suggest that precipitation's variability will increase.[65][66] This is important as it will affect hydropower production, decreasing the dam's electricity-generation reliability.
This is particularly important in the context of hydro-dependency. Tanzania gets the majority of its electricity from hydropower. A failure in these dams in the dry season is the key reason for the country's power failures, which happen frequently.[67][68][66] This vulnerability will increase if the Stiegler's Gorge Dam is completed. If brought online today, a failure of the Stiegler's Gorge Hydropower Plant would reduce power production by 58.3%.
