Cost comparison SGR Kenya vs SGR Tanzania

To be honest katika sgr ya Kenya navutiwa na station moja tu ambayo ni Mariakani

Nyingine zote sio kiivyo, some looks like mini supermarket za huku uswahilini kwetu.I'm sorry to say that,nyingine unakuta li'kioo au liplastic limewekwa kwenye uso wa station unnecessarily limekuwa attached halina kazi yoyote lipo tu eti kumatch na theme, pia ukisoma theme na station zenyewe Hata hazimatch,magumashi tupu,sijawahi kupata connection labda Mimi tu, sijajua yale maduara yanasaidia nini kule Mombasa terminus,hovyo tu gharama zisizo za lazima.

POLICY

EAST AFRICA ON THE VERGE OF HAVING AN EXPANDED RAIL NETWORK

Last week, Tanzania signed a Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) agreement that is set to give landlocked Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) direct access to Dar es Salaam Port.

The deal signing took place in the port town of Kigoma between Tanzania’s Minister of Transport Isack Kamwelwe, and his counterparts Jean Bosco (Burundi) and Roger Biasu (DRC).

A feasibility study for the railway which will start from Uvinza in Tanzania to Musongati in Burundi was done by Gulf Engineering Ltd. Upon completion, Tanzania’s SGR line will stretch for 1,457 km from Dar es Salaam to the shores of the popular Lake Victoria.

“The two countries have expressed their optimism and commitment in supporting the SGR project, as both depend largely on Dar es Salaam Port for exports and imports,” said Kamwelwe. He also added that once completed, the SGR line will spur economic growth in the three countries by easing transportation of goods to Burundi and DRC.

With the goal to boost Tanzania’s primary transport channel, tenders for the project will be floated in 2020 as China, Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB) already expressing potential interest in financing the project.

Kenya was the first Eastern African country to announce an SGR line which promised a cheaper and more efficient means of connecting all landlocked nations in East Africa through the Mombasa port. However, the project has been put on hold as China refusing to finance the project argued that it is not economically viable.

Nevertheless, the first phase of Tanzania’s SGR construction will start from the Uvinza district in northwestern Tanzania to Gitega in Burundi, covering a stretch of 240km. Also, the railway will be extended to the eastern regions of DRC.

One major benefit of Tanzania’s SGR is the promotion of economic integration which creates better trading opportunities for locals in Burundi and DRC. Subsequently, economic growth is inevitable in both countries as the SGR will bring about the transfer of new skills and technologies, also increasing overall productivity in the nation’s economies.

Similarly, Tanzania’s SGR gives the opportunity for more investment into the countries as foreign investors will leverage on the smooth transition between the East African Countries and invest in different aspects of their economies.

The high cost of transportation coupled with the time spent during the journey between these landlocked countries to Tanzania will be greatly reduced following the execution of the SGR.

Also, the deal is set to create more jobs for East Africans especially Tanzanians during the course of the construction, likewise at the end when the railway becomes fully operational.

Following the success of Tanzania’s SGR between Burundi and DRC, there would be an increase in foreign investment, a more economical means of transportation, and an avenue for job creation in the region.

The towns called Soga, Ruvu, Ngerengere their populations r hardly 10,000!

Soga is barely 40km from Dar. Thats like us putting a mini station somewhere in Juja or Limuru.

Not unless you guys dont plan on expanding Dar.
Tz has a bigger population than Kenya and it will be one of the most populous countries in africa by the end of this century. You should be building bigger stations.

Kenya stations are not bigger, the only difference with Tz ones is finishing,

If there are big populations in futurethe only solution is to increase the number of trains, Go to Europe and learn.

Almost done..word around is inazinduliwa tuesday.

Naibu Waziri wa Nishati, Subira Mgalu( mwenye kilemba) akiangalia kazi ujenzi wa msingi wa kusimika nguzo kubwa ya umeme wa kV 220 utakaotumika katika reli ya kisasa, unayoendelea katika njia ya kusafirisha umeme.

• Mgalu alieleza hayo Desemba 7,2019 baada ya kufanya ziara ya kukagua maendeleo ujenzi wa miundombinu hiyo kuanzia Kituo cha Kinyerenzi, Pugu hadi Kisarawe jijini Dar es salaam ambapo asilimia 70 ya kazi hiyo imekamilika.
• Alitumia ziara hiyo kuwathibitishia watanzania kuwa mradi huo wa ujenzi wa njia ya umeme utakamilika kwa wakati kulinga na makubaliano ya mkataba na umeme upo mwingi na wa kutosha kuwezesha reli hiyo kufanya kazi yake wakati wote.

Mafundi wakiendela na kazi ya kumwaga zege chini ardhini ikiwa ni ujenzi wa msingi wa nguzo ya kusafirisha umeme mkubwa utakaotumika katika reli ya kisasa.

• Alifafanua kuwa ujenzi wa miundombinu ya njia ya kusafirisha umeme inatarajiwa kukamilika mwezi Februari, 2020 ili kutoa fursa ya kuanza majaribio ya safari kwa kutumia Treni ya umeme, kabla ya kuanza rasmi kwa safari hizo mwezi Julai, 2020.
• “Niwatoe hofu wale wote wenye mashaka na usafiri wa reli kwa kutumia umeme, umeme upo mwingi na wa kutosha nchini, kwa sasa tunazalisha zaidi ya megawati 1601, tunazotumia ni megawati 1116 tu, pia kazi ya kujenga miradi mikubwa ya kuzalisha umeme mwingi zaidi inaendelea, ukiwemo Mradi wa Julias Nyerere katika bonde la mto Rufiji, Rusumo na Kinyerezi”, alisisitiza Mgalu.

Mafundi wakendelea wakiendelea na kazi ya kusuka nondo kabla ya kumwaga zege, katika ujenzi wa msingi wa nguzo ya kubwa ya kusafirisha umeme wa kV 220, utakaotumika katika reli ya kisasa.

• Pia alikagua ghala za kuhifadhia vifaa mbalimbali vinavyotumika katika ujenzi wa njia ya kusafirisha umeme lililopo Kibaha mkoani Pwani na kushuhudia uwepo wa vifaa vya kutosha kukamilisha ujenzi wa njia hiyo.
• Aidha aliwataka wasimamizi wa mradi huo kuwalipa vizuri wafanyakazi /vibarua wanaofanya kazi katika mradi huo ili na wao wafurahie na kunufaika kuwepo kwa mradi huo, vilevile aliwataka vibarua hao kufanya kazi kwa bidii, kuwa walinzi wa vifaa hivyo na miundombinu na kuweka mbele maslahi ya taifa.

Naibu Waziri wa Nishati, Subira Mgalu, akitoa maelekezo kwa wasimamizi wa ujenzi wa njia ya kusafirisha umeme mkubwa utakaotumika katika reli ya kisasa baada ya kutembelea na kukagua ghala la kuhifadhia vifaa hivyo lililopo Kibaha, mkoani Pwani.

• Aidha alilipongeza Shirika la Umeme Tanzania (TANESCO) kwa kazi nzuri ya kusimamia utekelezaji wa ujenzi wa miundombinu ya njia ya kusafirisha umeme mkubwa katika reli ya kisasa, na kuwataka kuongeza kasi zaidi ya ujenzi huo ili ikiwezekana ujenzi huo ukamilike kabla ya muda waliopewa.

Naibu Waziri wa Nishati, Subira Mgalu, akizungumza na baadhi ya wafanyakazi/ vibarua katika ghala la kuhifadhi vifaa vya ujenzi wa njia ya kusafirisha umeme mkubwa utakaotumika katika reli ya kisasa, lililopo Kibaha, mkaoani Pwani.

• Kwa upande msimamizi wa mradi huo kutoka Tanesco, Mhandisi Deogratius Msaki alisema kuwa kazi hiyo inaendelea vizuri licha ya changamoto ya kigiografia ya ardhi katika baadhi ya maeneo na hali ya hewa ya mvua.
• Aliweka wazi kuwa mpaka sasa tayari wamesimamisha nguzo zaidi 120 kati ya 456 zitakazotumika kutoka Dar es salaam hadi Morogoro, pia kazi ya kuweka vikombe na kuanza kuvuta nyaya imekwisha anza katika maeneo ambayo tayari usimikwaji wa nguzo umekamilika huku kazi hiyo ikiendelea, matarajio yao ni kuukabidhi mradi huo Tar 28 Februari 2020.

Ahahahah didn't I tell you it's Tanesco that will build and pay for the 220kv dedicated transmission line ? Wewe ukabaki ukipinga ulisema eti ABB ndo watajenga!???? Who is bringing evidence now.?..??

Do you need me to bring that post again so you may remind yourself because you seem to be suffering from memory loss.....
Hebu ambia hao Tanesco watuambie cost ya hio 220kv TL ni pesa ngapi manake cost kamili ya SGR TZ ni pia uongezee hesabu ya treni na mabehewa ambayo, Tanesco TL ujumlishe na uoengeze juu ya pesa za ujenzi wa reli.

The cost of Dar-Moro electrical SGR is $1.2bln including TL!

ABB has been selected to supply substation equipment and engineering solutions for a 530-km long high-speed electric line between Dar es Salaam and Makutupora. The project is part of a larger plan to link Tanzania’s port cities with interior areas and neighboring countries to stimulate regional trade and passenger travel in the region and help strengthen the economy.

The equipment will help power two separate but adjoining east-west rail lines – the Dar es Salaam – Morogoro railway line (DSM), and the Morogoro – Makutupora railway line (MDM). The new high-speed electric rail line will replace a slow, narrow-gauge line built more than 100 years ago, which is not suitable for high-speed transport of cargo and passengers.

The project will provide a crucial link between the country’s most important port of Dar es Salaam and the country’s interior hub, which also serves as a vital crossroads for north-south railway linkages. Tanzania, home to well-known game parks and destinations like Mount Kilimanjaro remains largely rural but aspires to become a regional transport hub between its port cities and hinterland areas and neighboring land-locked countries. When complete, the rail system will provide a vital link from the neighboring countries to the global market via Dar es Salaam and will create a development corridor to sustain future growth.

ABB will deliver a complete engineering solution and most of the key products, such as the substation automation control and protection system and ABB AbilityTM OCC (Operational Control Centre). The substation equipment and engineering solution will be delivered to Turkish EPC Yapi Merkezi İnşaat ve Sanayi, and the railway will be operated by the Tanzania Railway Corporation (TRC).

“ABB is pleased to be part of Tanzania’s pioneering effort to build the first modern electric rail infrastructure in East Africa and encourage sustainable mobility in Africa,” said Patrick Fragman, head of the Grid Integration business unit, a part of ABB’s Power Grids division. “ABB provides a wide range of innovative solutions for the rail sector and remains the partner of choice for enabling a stronger, smarter and greener grid.”
In addition to traction power solutions, ABB provides a diverse power portfolio for rail and urban transport solutions including static frequency converter stations, power quality systems, ABB AbilityTM network management systems, energy recuperation and energy storage systems, system studies and dynamic traction power supply simulations based on powerful software tools.
