Tanzania: Electricity Generation Slightly Declines - allAfrica.com

ELECTRICITY generated and distributed declined by 4.0 per cent to a cumulative output of 1,823,616.1 megawatts in the quarter ending September last year from 1,898,803.2 that was registered in the corresponding quarter of 2019.

According to the Bank of Tanzania (BoT) consolidated zonal economic performance report, the decrease in power generation was recorded in most of the thermal power stations in Dar es Salaam, South Eastern and Lake zones, following improvement in electricity generation from hydropower sources.
The increase in power generation from hydropower sources was on account of increased water levels in most of the dams.

At the same time, production of natural gas from Songo Songo and Mnazi Bay fields decreased by 12.3 per cent to 14,738.0 Million Standard Cubic Feet (MSCF) from 16,809.7 MSCF recorded in the corresponding quarter in 2019. The decrease in gas production was due to low demand by downstream users, particularly TANESCO for electricity generation using gas fired turbines.

Tanzania is set to become the leading power producer and supplier in the East African region, thanks to the fifth phase government through its power utility company- Tanesco, executing mega flagship power projects in the country.

The 7tri/- Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHPP) which is expected to generate 2115 megawatts will make the country produce surplus electricity for domestic use and for exports. The huge investments in the power generation and transmission alongside the transformation of the Tanzania Electricity Supply Company Limited (Tanesco), remarkable achievements have been registered in just five years of President John Magufuli's first term in office.

One of the notable achievements is the break even, that is changing from loss making to profit generating company where it also started paying dividends to the government. Significantly, electricity supply in Tanzania goes beyond household use for lighting homes, charging phones or powering household appliances such as radios and TVs but is intended to spur economic growth.

To grow Tanzania's economy requires productive use of energy to power the economy, local businesses, provide better health and education services and drive agriculture production.

Hapa ndipo tunapoona umuhimu wa mradi wa stiglers gorge.

Kuna mwehu mmoja kada was Chama nimemsikia akiwahusisha kunguru na kupungua kwa usambazi wa umeme, sijui kala haragwe la wapi?

Ni jambo la kawaida uzalishaji wa umeme kwenda juu au chini kulingana na mahitaji. Kuzalisha umeme ni gharama ambayo lazima uwe makini la sivyo utapata hasara. Huwezi kupika vitumbuwa mara mbili zaidi ya wateja wako wa kila siku.

Tatizo litakuwa kunguru

Sijui unayemsema na wala sijui alisema nini, lakini kula maharage siyo tatizo kabisa. Tatizo linatokana kilabu alikokuwa kabla ya kusema hivyo.

Kama kupungua kwa uzalishaji wa umeme moja ya sababu ni kupungua kwa kina cha maji kwenye hayo mabwawa, hiyo Stiglers yako itatumia upepo au?!

Au kama sababu ni kunguru, huo umeme wa Stiglers utasafirishwa uende kwa mtumiaji kwa kutumia nini? bajaji!.

Huyo kala haragwe na uji wa Bujibuji.🤣

Tumshukuru Mungu kufuatia mvua za kutosha, ushauri kwa tanesco ni kuongeza mabwawa ya kukusanya maji yawe msaada siku za ukame.

Ina maana hujasikia malalamiko kedekede kwenye mitandao ya kijamii kuhusu 'mgao' wa umeme nchini?
Mahitaji kwa Sasa Ni makubwa kuliko uzalishaji

Umeme wa Tanzania unazalishwa kutokana na vyanzo vya aina mbalimbali, kila upande una changamoto zake lakini upungufu wa 4% hauwezi kusababisha mgao. Kwa upande mwingine, uzalishaji wa umeme kutumia maji umeongezeka kutokana na mvua zinazoendelea kunyesha.

 

[Mkirindi]

Tanzania could easly have become a super power producer in East, Central and Southern Africa. Considering that it has so much Hydro power, Gas Reserves, HUGE COAL RESERVES, these are the essential eliments for the production of power, which are very abudant in Tanzania.
Very Unfortunately There is a fully fledged Coal Mine , which is Kiwira coal mine, which the Goverment of Mwinyi, Mkapa and Kikwete have allowed the Mine to close down.

Shida ni miundo mbinu ya TANESCO kipindi hiki chamvua nguzo zinaanguka miti inagusa nyaya NK

All is good. Angalizo, jamani muwe mnasoma na kuelewa habari inasema nini au ngeli imekuwa shida? Tanzania tupo vizuri wale wakwapuaji wanahemea kwenye vibanda, tujenge nchi yetu.
