Stieglers Gorge Hydroelectric Project

[zomba]

Kikwete mbona kishaitangaza hiyo project kuwa ataianza hivi karibuni. Hizi habari zingine ni pumba tu.

Au hamkusikiliza hotuba yake ya ufunguzi wa Bunge la kumi?

 

[Gosbertgoodluck]

Kikwete himself has been misled into thinking that this project is too big and too costly, hence it would take too long to build the power plant. The president has now falsely given up hope of implementing this project during his ten-year rule."

I hate when writters say some one was mislead how dare would he do that its him with his arrogance and failure to atributte his priorities for the development of this country not any way round

A good leader is the one who is ready to take diffult decisions for the future benefits of the general public at large dispite the negative impacts that his/her people may presently face.

For me, at least H.e. Mkapa showed a way. Under Mkapa's leadership, huge and historic projects were implemented successful. These include (just to mention a few) The Mkapa Bridge, The huge Lake Victoria Water Supply Project to Kahama and Shinyanga, kms of tamac roads across the country, The national stadium, etc. Similarly, Mwalimu did the same under his leadership. There are a lot of examples to emulate this argument. Almost 80% of the current power is generated from the plants which were constructed during his era.

Likewise, if jk was wise enough and determined he would have made a history by implementing tha huge power project to address the long standing electricity problem in our country.

Jamani viongozi wa africa isipokua KAGAME wana laana!hivi hamkushangaa ile meli ya mafuta total ya IPTL waziri anatoa agizo meli ipo dar tayari tena bila kutangaza tender!pia hamuoni kuwa wanapenda kununua vivuko badala ya kujenga ma daraja ya kudumu?eg daraja la kigamboni limeishia wapi?

Hii ilikuwa Aprili mwaka huu.....uongo mtupu wa serikali na sijui hiyo loan ya $400m wameifanyia nini

CTI Chairman, Felix Mosha said power cuts have been damaging electrical equipment and increasing the running cost of business, due to the use of generators.Mosha said efficient power supply was the most important thing which would enable business compete favourably in the coming East Africa Common Market.“We appreciate the government efforts in solving the power problems, but we are tired of power cuts and endless rationing. We want to be assured of reliable power supply because our competitiveness is diminishing”, he said.Mosha said CTI members were also concerned about the high electricity charges, including the 3 per cent which is levied for the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) and the poor customer services provided by the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO).
He also wanted to know what the government was doing to attract private sector participation after the amendment of the Electricity Act of 2008.

Responding, Minister Ngeleja said the government has long and short term plans which include the production of 900 megawatts of power by the year 2012 of which 160MW would start flowing in the next twelve months, while another 100 MW would be produced from a gas plant at Ubungo in Dar es Salaam and another 60MW from the installed generators in Mwanza.“Power rationing and transmission will soon end as the 160MW is connected to the national grid”, said Ngeleja.Ngeleja mentioned the Singida windmill project which will produce 50MW, Kiwira 200MW, Mnazi Bay 300MW and Kinyerezi power project which will give out 240MW as the other projects in the pipeline.He said the government has received a soft loan of USD 400 million from the Chinese government to implement the identified power projects.The minister said the amendment to the Electricity Act was intended to involve and encourage the private sector to invest in the energy sector.
“There are many opportunities for you to invest in the sector, and we are hoping that CTI shall supplement our efforts in solving power problems”, said Ngeleja.On the 3 per cent deduction for REA, he said the money was meant to support rural electrification.
He said concerted efforts were needed to promote rural electrification as only 14 per cent of the population has access to electricity, of whom 12 per cent are urban dwellers.Ngeleja also called on CTI members to help the government fight against fake electrical products and meter tempering.

For his part, CTI past Chairman, Reginald Mengi said industrialists were more concerned with the quality than the quantity of the country’s power. He said the country’s electricity quality was poor due to frequent blackouts and inconsistent supply.“What we are looking for is not only the quantity, but quality of electricity”, said Mengi.He said that despite all the efforts at improvement, there were still serious distribution problems. He said though the energy produced is enough and well transmitted, its distribution is still poor.Mengi advised the government to privatize the distribution network so as to improve its reach to intended customers.He said absence of a chief executive of the company affected Tanesco’s customer service delivery.

Meanwhile Dominic Nkolimwa reports that the Rufiji Basin Development Authority (RUBADA) has initiated two major hydro-power projects in Kilombero District, Morogoro Region to generate approximately 2,265 megawatts upon completion.The project, one of the biggest on the continent is expected to help the country attain self-sufficiency and export surplus power in the near future.Speaking after a meeting held in Dar es Salaam involving TANESCO, Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA), RUBADA,

The National Environment Management Council (NEMC) and Morogoro region authority, the Rubada Acting Director General Alloyce Masanja named the projects as Stieglers Gorge and Mpanga.He said the Stieglers Gorge project was expected to generate 2,100MW while the Mpanga project would generate 165MW.He said the government had hesitated to allow the execution of the Stieglers Gorge project, fearing destruction of the environment, but has now allowed RUBADA to proceed with implementation, after discussions.South Africa and Canada have accepted to fund the project.Masanja said a feasibility study done in 1980, showed that the project would cost USD1.0bn, but the latest study put the cost at USD 2.0bn.He said under the memorandum of understanding, the project was being executed under a Build, Operate and Transfer arrangement, for 25 years.He said the second project which is Mpanga, will be funded by Chinese government.“Chinese government at the interim cost has accepted to provide USD 173m as an initial cost, although the study shows that the whole project will cost USD 400m,” said Masanja.

In another development, mining of uranium will officially begin in 2012 in Ruvuma Region, earning the nation more than USD 200 million per year in foreign exchange, Minister for Energy and Minerals William Ngeleja has said.He said Mantra Resources company working in Ruvuma Region has completed initial feasibility study and was carrying out definitive feasibility study (design stage) before embarking on construction and production.

He named other companies carrying out studies in other parts of the country as Uranex and Western Methods which will place Tanzania third in Africa and seventh in world uranium production.

HOW ABOUT ule mpango wa UMEME KULE MTO malagarasi?

Kikwete mbona kishaitangaza hiyo project kuwa ataianza hivi karibuni. Hizi habari zingine ni pumba tu.

Au hamkusikiliza hotuba yake ya ufunguzi wa Bunge la kumi?

Are you sure?? Maana naona kama umeleta dharau humu na unaona watu wapo serious na maendeleo ya nchi yetu.

Come on... Wote tulimsikiliza huyo msanii jinsi alivyoonesha kuwa ni mradi ambao utatumia miaka mingi sana kukamilika. Sasa ukisoma hiyo habari ya This Day (sijui kama umeisoma kabla ya kuchangia?!) utagundua kwamba kumbe mradi unakuwa sabotaged tu na mafisadi. Otherwise ni mradi ambao ulipaswa kutekelezwa siku nyingi sana, na huu upuuzi wa mgao wa umeme ungeshakuwa historia -- kwamba hapo zamani za kale Tanzania kulikuwa na tatizo la umeme na watu wake walilazimika kukaa gizani kwa masaa mengi kutokana na ujinga na usanii wa viongozi wao.

 

[Zipuwawa]

Kufika tutafika ila tutakuwa tumechoka mbaya hii ndio Tanzania inayosifika kwa Amani .....wakati watu wake hawana Amani kila tatizo ni lao watanzania magonjwa, miundo mbinu, Umasikini,na kila baya.

 

[Kaa la Moto]

One Day yote yataisha haya InshaAllah.

Hayawezi kuisha ndani ya chama chako cha uchakachuaji bali yatakwisha siku Chadema ikiwa mtawala wa nchi hii.

Hii project iko kwenye pipeline inaendelea; ukiona magazeti ya IPPMedia yanaanza kampeni ujue Mzee Mengi alikuwa anafuatilia maslahi fulani akazidiwa spidi.

Tanzania, Brazil plan US2billion hydropower plant



DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania 12/6/10 (PennWell) --
Tanzania is planning with Brazil to construct a US$2 billion hydropower plant in Tanzania, wire services reported.

Officials from Tanzania held talks with their Brazilian counterparts in Sao Paolo earlier in 2010 on the construction of the proposed 2,100-MW Stiegler's Gorge hydropower station, Reuters reported.

The plant would be a source of cheap, abundant energy at a cost of around 2 U.S cents per kilowatt hour. It would help control flooding in the Rufiji area and create a reservoir with a total capacity of 34 billion cubic meters to supply the commercial capital Dar es Salaam and other regions, wire reports indicate.

The government is considering funding options for the project, including concessional loans, private investment or state financing, reports indicate.

Brazil will provide the technology to build the plant, Reuters reported.

The project's current timetable calls for the feasibility study to be updated next year and for the first of three 700-MW turbines to be installed in 2012, media reports indicate. Full project completion is projected for 2015.

Recently, the government of Tanzania signed a deal with Russia-based Borodino for the construction of the $700 million Rumakali hydropower plant in Tanzania's Iringa region.

Construction of the 222-MW hydropower station will begin by 2013, and the plant is expected to come online by 2018, according to reports.

waziri wa Nishati atoswe kama hakuna marekebisho, hivi power plant ya kutumia urenium haiwezekani? mjadala huu Mheshimiwa Vice President hawezi kutusaidia kwa hili? maana ndiye aliyesomea nyukilia, kama ni kweli alisomea hii nuklia akaitumie wapi? mbona wasomi wengi wanatuzingua baada ya kusoma wanakimbilia Uongozi badala ya kuweka mikakati ya kukomboa nchi yetu kiuchumi

Angeweza tu kama tungelikuwa na terrorist groups zenye kutaka kutengeneza mabomu ya kujiripua ya nuklia. Lakini mbali na hivyo atakufa na ujuzi uliogharimu pesa ya watanzania kumsomehsa kwa kutuchekea majukwaani. Shame!

 

[Kaa la Moto]

Bwana mkubwa alisema haya Oktoba 2005:

"Nishati ni sawa na chembe za damu mwilini. Tunapanua wigo na aina ya vyanzo vya umeme na nishati kwa jumla ili kuwa na nishati ya kutosha na yenye gharama nafuu kukidhi mahitaji ya uzalishaji ya viwanda, utoaji wa huduma za kijamii, na matumizi ya nyumbani. Tutayashughulikia kwa kipaumbele cha juu matatizo ya sasa yahusuyo upatikanaji wa umeme nchini... Ilani ya CCM ya uchaguzi wa Oktoba 2005 inasema wazi kuwa Serikali ya Awamu ya Nne itaharakisha mradi wa kupata umeme kutoka makaa ya mawe ya Mchuchuma. Na Hivyo ndivyo tutakavyofanya. Aidha, Serikali ya Awamu ya Nne itafufua miradi ya umeme ya mto Rusomo na Stiglers [Stieglers Gorge]." Mwisho wa kunukuu..

Alafu ikawaje? Amelitetea vipi kwenye ilani hii tena? same undless and unfulfilled stories?

 

[Mantuntunu]

Hii Serikali inabidi ipinduliwe tu, iondolewe madarakani kwa lazima, zaidi ya hapo hakuna jipya CCM ni ile ile and it will never change

Ratiba ilisema kiongozi wa nchi atawasili hotelini saa nne kamili usiku, ataenda chumbani kwake then in 5 min atashuka chini kuongea na Watanzania...watu wakafika hotelini na kugandishwa hadi saa tano na nusu..alipofika yeye na mkewe akawap watu mikono na musala "Asante kwa kutukRibisha" then huyo shaaa chumbani, kwani... tulimuona tena??kuuliza tukaambiwa kasema hashuki chini tena...hayo si ni madharau?

Huyu ndo Raisi anejali Uzalendo kweli?

 

[Sikonge]

Mlimbebea mabango?

Kama hamkubeba na mkaenda kujipitisha kwake, basi Kikwete kafanya kazi safi sana.

Mlikuwa na muda huo wa sekundi mbili. Mngelimpigia hata makelele lakini nyie, ziii.

Safi sana kafanya Rais wa Tanzania yetu hii Tukufu.

Mlitaka aje tena mumpe maswali ya Kuchakachua? Jamaa ni mtoto wa MUJINI ati.

Poleni..yaani mlienda kumlaki raisi wa nec!!
Imekula kwenu sasa na hilo winter. Mmekaa barafuni kwa 1.5 hrs mkimngojea msanii !! ..
Anyway, sasa mtaelewa matatizo ya mfumo wa utawala wa kifisadi Tz. Next time mtajua nini cha kufanya..

Walisema he was late for being briefed na balozi wetu maana hata baadhi ya watu kwenye msafara walianza kelele kwamba mbona imechukua muda.Chini watanzania waliokuja kumpongeza walikuwa wanalia tu na wachache walikuwa na maswali hao waliwaka kweli wakitaka aje waanze kusogoa ilishazidi muda.JK hakuwa na ratiba ya kuonana na Watanzania wale ila walijitokeza wenyewe baada ya kusikia
