OVER half of the Ministry of Energy budget will be spent on implementing the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project across the Rufiji river, the government said Wednesday.

Energy Minister Dr Medard Kalemani announced that 1.4trn/- of the 2.38trn/- budget will be spent on JNHPP.

The 2115 megawatts, is the country's largest hydroelectric project that started in June 2019 and scheduled to be completed next year costing at least 6.55trn/-.

The Minister says, "upon the completion of the project the government will move very close to its target to generate 5,000 MW by 2025."He said the project will create conducive environment for reliable power supply as well as reduce cost of electricity.

Dr Kalemani told the National Assembly, the maximum electricity demand is expected to reach 2,677 MW and the country will have 2,323 MW as excess to export to neighbouring countries.

A total of 2.49trn/- has been paid to the contractor as of May this year, covering 100 per cent of the amount required to be paid as per the contract.

LNG plant: 70.5trn/-, five years pact inked

THE construction of the much-anticipated Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant is now set to commence in July 2023 and complete in June 2028, the National Assembly heard yesterday.

Tabling the 2021/22 budget estimates, Energy Minister Dr Medard Kalemani said the government has set aside 3bn/- for implementation of Host Government Agreement (HGA) negotiations and the Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) o be pursued during the next financial year.

“The cost of this project is estimated at $30bn (70.5trn/-),” he said, lining up a number of strategic projects to be implemented during the next five years aimed at generating 5000 megawatts to stock sufficient capacity for a major industrial drive countrywide.

Tabling estimates, he said the ministry expects to spend 2.386trn/- on power projects, an increase of eight percent from last year’s estimates.

In the coming financial year, the ministry will implement strategic projects including the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (2,115 MV), Ruhuji (358 MV), Somanga Fungu (330 MW) and Mtwara (300 MW).

Yet others are Rumakali (222 MW). Kinyerezi I (185 MW), Rusumo (80 MW) and Malagarasi (49MW), he elaborated.

Apart from the projects, the government will continue to strengthen other energy sources including the North -West Grid Extension kV 400; Singida –Arusha –Namanga kV 400 Rufiji -Chalinze –Dodoma kV 400.

Others are Chalinze –Kinyerezi KV 400; Rusumo –Nyakanazi kV 220, Geita –Nyakanazi kV220; Ibadakuli (Shinyanga) –Imalilo (Simiyu) kV 220; Tabora–Kigoma kV 132 and Tabora–Katavi kV 132; uplifting power stations like Handeni and Kilindi in Tanga region, he specified.

In the third phase of the rural electrification drive will also be prioritized, the minister asserted.

The government will continue with plans to implement the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) from Hoima in Uganda to Chongoleani port area in Tanga, he told MPs, highlighting top projects as the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plant, natural gas exploitation at Mnazi Bay in Mtwara Region and the Eyasi Wembere plain oil exploration project.

The ministry is set to transport natural gas to attract more investments in the sub-sector and facilitate operations of the Tanzania Electricity Co. (Tanesco), the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) and the Petroleum Upstream Regulatory Authority, (PURA), he added.
 
Tanzania May Start Building $30 Billion LNG Project in 2023

  • Hassan’s administration wants construction completed in 2028
  • Government negotiating terms with companies including Equinor


Tanzania plans to begin the construction of a delayed $30 billion liquefied natural gas project in 2023, following the resumption of talks with companies including Equinor ASA.

Construction is expected to take about five years, Energy Minister Medard Kalemani told lawmakers on Thursday.

The project gained momentum after President Samia Suluhu Hassan took office in March, and directed her administration to fast-track delayed investments. Plans for an LNG plant on Tanzania’s southern coast and a pipeline connecting offshore fields have been under consideration since 2014. Talks, however, stalled for more than a year under Hassan’s predecessor John Magufuli.

The announcement on construction of the project comes months after Total SE suspended work on a similar plan in neighboring Mozambique following insurgent attacks. Tanzania’s project, which has lagged Mozambique, is set to benefit from Hassan’s push to boost investment and accelerate economic growth in a nation where policy uncertainty had stifled business.

Talks Resume

Hassan ordered the resumption of negotiations with the companies in May, about four months after Equinor’s decision to take a $982 million impairment on the project following failure to settle fiscal and commercial terms with Tanzania.

“We expect to conclude negotiations for a host government agreement and review production sharing agreements” by the end of June 2022, Kalemani said. The government has finalized compensation procedures with more than 600 residents of the southern Tanzanian town of Lindi to pave way for the project, he said.

Separately, the government is building a pipeline network to connect and distribute gas to more than 10,000 homes and factories, mostly in the commercial hub of Dar es Salaam, Kalemani said.

Tanzania and Mozambique have for more than a decade been sub-Saharan Africa’s foremost gas frontier-investment destinations after explorers found more than 100 trillion cubic feet of the resources in their territories. Mozambique’s projects, with companies including Total, Eni SpA and Exxon Mobil and a projected investment of at least $60 billion, are threatened by an insurgency in the nation’s gas-rich regions.
