The Tanzanian government is in talks with two foreign investor companies that have expressed interest to build power transmission projects worth a total of $1.2 billion.

If successful, these will be the first ever Public-Private Partnership (PPP) power transmission projects in Tanzania's history.

Power transmission is currently being done solely by the state-run Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO).

Involvement of the private sector in the construction of high-voltage power lines is a new phenomenon in Tanzania.

David Kafulila, the Executive Director of Tanzania's PPP Centre, said the government is exploring best practices from countries that have experience in PPP projects in power transmission lines in Latin America and Asia.

"There are success stories in this area (PPPs in power transmission projects) in countries such as India, Peru, Chile, Brazil and Philippines," he said.

At least two foreign companies have expressed interest to the PPP Centre to invest in power transmission lines.

"The mandate of the PPP Centre is to coordinate and scrutinise investments proposals with public-private partnerships," he said.

Tanzania faces key challenges in implementing PPPs in transmission lines, including regulatory, legal, and institutional barriers and limited skills in key government entities.

There is need for technical and capacity building support for the government to adopt PPPs in the energy sector.

Some development partners have been pushing for this PPP agenda in power transmission for all East African countries and is currently working with kenya and Uganda, according to Kafulila.

"Experience from energy economists suggests that the energy sector can be self-financed if tariffs are commercially set. Tanzania is charging the lowest electricity tariffs in East Africa. This is one reason why Tanzania is leading sub-Saharan African countries in having an inclusive economy," Kafulila noted.

The Tanzanian government announced in 2022 that it plans to invest $1.9 billion to upgrade the country's electricity transmission infrastructure.

Tanzania currently has a surplus of power, yet parts of the country do not have access to electricity.

The government also cannot export the surplus electricity to energy-starved neighbouring countries due to inadequate power transmission networks.

The involvement of the private sector in power transmission projects is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the country.

These include improvements in access, quality and reliability of electricity across the country and development of regional power trade.

The PPPs are also expected to reduce power transmission losses and could further cut the cost of electricity to consumers by absorbing the capital cost of transmission lines.

TotalEnergies inasitisha biashara na Adani, inasema haikufahamu uchunguzi wa Marekani​

Kampuni kuu ya mafuta ya Ufaransa ya TotalEnergies SE haikufahamishwa kuhusu uchunguzi wa Marekani kuhusu uwezekano wa rushwa na ufisadi katika kampuni ya Adani Green Energy Limited, ilisema Jumatatu, na kuongeza kuwa itasimamisha michango ya kifedha kwa uwekezaji wake wa Kundi la Adani kufuatia kushtakiwa kwa wiki iliyopita.


Total ina hisa 20% katika Adani Green Energy na ina kiti katika bodi ya wakurugenzi ya kampuni ya India.
"Hadi wakati ambapo mashtaka dhidi ya watu binafsi wa kikundi cha Adani na matokeo yao yamefafanuliwa, TotalEnergies haitatoa mchango wowote mpya wa kifedha kama sehemu ya uwekezaji wake katika kundi la makampuni ya Adani," kampuni hiyo ilisema katika taarifa.


"TotalEnergies haikufahamishwa kuwepo kwa uchunguzi kuhusu madai ya mpango wa ufisadi," kampuni hiyo iliongeza.

Waendesha mashtaka wa Marekani mnamo Alhamisi waliwashtaki watu wanane - akiwemo tajiri wa India Gautam Adani, mpwa wake Sagar Adani na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa zamani wa Adani Green Energy - kwa kuahidi na kisha kufanya malipo yasiyofaa kwa maafisa wa India kati ya Julai 2021 na 2024 kwa faida za biashara.

Kampuni ya Ufaransa ilinunua hisa zake katika Adani Green Energy mnamo Januari 2021 - baada ya kampuni ya India kushinda kile kilichokuwa oda kubwa zaidi ya jua duniani wakati huo, na miezi michache kabla ya malipo kwa maafisa kudaiwa kuanza.

Total pia inamiliki asilimia 37.4 ya hisa katika Adani Total Gas Limited, pamoja na asilimia 50 ya hisa katika ubia tatu zinazoweza kurejeshwa na Adani Green Energy.

Mbili kati ya hizo za ubia ziliingia baada ya FBI kutoa vibali vya upekuzi kwa Sagar Adani na kunasa ushahidi unaohusiana na Adani Green Energy.
TotalEnergies imeelezea India kama soko kuu la kukuza biashara zake za gesi asilia na nishati mbadala.

Kuongezeka kwa joto na kuongezeka kwa shughuli za kiuchumi kumesababisha uzalishaji wa umeme nchini India kukua kwa wastani wa takriban 8% kila mwaka kufuatia janga la mwaka wa 2020/21, na hivyo kupita ukuaji wa mahitaji ya nishati katika kila uchumi mkuu wa ulimwengu.


Kampuni ya Ufaransa imerudia kubainisha uhusiano wake na Kundi la Adani kama "muungano wa kimkakati" - 25% ya kwingineko ya utendakazi ya Total inayoweza kurejeshwa inatokana na hisa zake katika mali ya Adani ya upepo na jua.


Wachambuzi katika Utafiti wa Bernstein wanakadiria ufichuzi wa kifedha wa TotalEnergies kwa makampuni ya Adani kati ya dola bilioni 4-5, au karibu 3% ya mtaji ulioajiriwa.

Hisa za TotalEnergies zilikuwa chini 0.42% saa 1145 GMT siku ya Jumatatu.

TotalEnergies pauses business with Adani, says it was not aware of US investigation​

French oil major TotalEnergies SE was not informed of a U.S. investigation into possible bribery and corruption at Adani Green Energy Limited, it said on Monday, adding it will stop financial contributions to its Adani Group investments following last week’s indictment.


Total holds a 20% stake in Adani Green Energy and has a seat on the Indian company’s board of directors.

“Until such time when the accusations against the Adani group individuals and their consequences have been clarified, TotalEnergies will not make any new financial contribution as part of its investments in the Adani group of companies,” the company said in a statement.


“TotalEnergies was not made aware of the existence of an investigation into the alleged corruption scheme,” the company added.


U.S. prosecutors on Thursday charged eight people – including Indian tycoon Gautam Adani, his nephew Sagar Adani and the former CEO of Adani Green Energy – with promising and then making improper payments to Indian officials between July 2021 and 2024 for business advantages.


The French firm purchased its stake in Adani Green Energy in January 2021 – after the Indian company won what was then the world’s largest solar order, and just months before the payments to officials were alleged to have begun.


Total also owns a 37.4% stake in Adani Total Gas Limited, as well as a 50% stake in three renewable joint ventures with Adani Green Energy.


Two of those joint ventures were entered into after the FBI served search warrants on Sagar Adani and seized evidence related to Adani Green Energy.


TotalEnergies has described India as a key market for developing both its natural gas and renewable energy businesses. Searing heatwaves and an uptick in economic activity have resulted in India’s electricity generation growing at an average of about 8% annually following the pandemic year of 2020/21, outpacing power demand growth in every major global economy.


The French firm has repeatedly characterised its relationship with the Adani Group as a “strategic alliance” — 25% of Total’s operational renewables portfolio comes from its stakes in Adani wind and solar assets.


Analysts at Bernstein Research estimate TotalEnergies’ financial exposure to Adani firms at between $4-5 billion, or around 3% of capital employed.


TotalEnergies shares were down 0.42% at 1145 GMT on Monday.

The Tanzanian government is in talks with two foreign investor companies that have expressed interest to build power transmission projects worth a total of $1.2 billion.

If successful, these will be the first ever Public-Private Partnership (PPP) power transmission projects in Tanzania's history.

Power transmission is currently being done solely by the state-run Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO).

Involvement of the private sector in the construction of high-voltage power lines is a new phenomenon in Tanzania.

David Kafulila, the Executive Director of Tanzania's PPP Centre, said the government is exploring best practices from countries that have experience in PPP projects in power transmission lines in Latin America and Asia.

"There are success stories in this area (PPPs in power transmission projects) in countries such as India, Peru, Chile, Brazil and Philippines," he said.

At least two foreign companies have expressed interest to the PPP Centre to invest in power transmission lines.

"The mandate of the PPP Centre is to coordinate and scrutinise investments proposals with public-private partnerships," he said.

Tanzania faces key challenges in implementing PPPs in transmission lines, including regulatory, legal, and institutional barriers and limited skills in key government entities.

There is need for technical and capacity building support for the government to adopt PPPs in the energy sector.

Some development partners have been pushing for this PPP agenda in power transmission for all East African countries and is currently working with kenya and Uganda, according to Kafulila.

"Experience from energy economists suggests that the energy sector can be self-financed if tariffs are commercially set. Tanzania is charging the lowest electricity tariffs in East Africa. This is one reason why Tanzania is leading sub-Saharan African countries in having an inclusive economy," Kafulila noted.

The Tanzanian government announced in 2022 that it plans to invest $1.9 billion to upgrade the country's electricity transmission infrastructure.

Tanzania currently has a surplus of power, yet parts of the country do not have access to electricity.

The government also cannot export the surplus electricity to energy-starved neighbouring countries due to inadequate power transmission networks.

The involvement of the private sector in power transmission projects is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the country.

These include improvements in access, quality and reliability of electricity across the country and development of regional power trade.

The PPPs are also expected to reduce power transmission losses and could further cut the cost of electricity to consumers by absorbing the capital cost of transmission lines.

If successful, these will be the first ever Public-Private Partnership (PPP) power transmission projects in Tanzania's history.

Power transmission is currently being done solely by the state-run Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO).

Involvement of the private sector in the construction of high-voltage power lines is a new phenomenon in Tanzania.

David Kafulila, the Executive Director of Tanzania's PPP Centre, said the government is exploring best practices from countries that have experience in PPP projects in power transmission lines in Latin America and Asia.

"There are success stories in this area (PPPs in power transmission projects) in countries such as India, Peru, Chile, Brazil and Philippines," he said.

At least two foreign companies have expressed interest to the PPP Centre to invest in power transmission lines.

"The mandate of the PPP Centre is to coordinate and scrutinise investments proposals with public-private partnerships," he said.

Tanzania faces key challenges in implementing PPPs in transmission lines, including regulatory, legal, and institutional barriers and limited skills in key government entities.

There is need for technical and capacity building support for the government to adopt PPPs in the energy sector.

Some development partners have been pushing for this PPP agenda in power transmission for all East African countries and is currently working with kenya and Uganda, according to Kafulila.

"Experience from energy economists suggests that the energy sector can be self-financed if tariffs are commercially set. Tanzania is charging the lowest electricity tariffs in East Africa. This is one reason why Tanzania is leading sub-Saharan African countries in having an inclusive economy," Kafulila noted.

The Tanzanian government announced in 2022 that it plans to invest $1.9 billion to upgrade the country's electricity transmission infrastructure.

Tanzania currently has a surplus of power, yet parts of the country do not have access to electricity.

The government also cannot export the surplus electricity to energy-starved neighbouring countries due to inadequate power transmission networks.

The involvement of the private sector in power transmission projects is expected to bring significant economic benefits to the country.

These include improvements in access, quality and reliability of electricity across the country and development of regional power trade.

The PPPs are also expected to reduce power transmission losses and could further cut the cost of electricity to consumers by absorbing the capital cost of transmission lines.
