Tanzania to build Region's largest Gas-fired Power Plant; Export Power by 2017

siku sio nyingi tulimsikia waziri akisema mazungumzo ya kununua umeme ethiopia yanaendelea na yamefikia sehemu nzuri,sasa sijui itakuwaje kwakua walisema wametangaza tenda ya kumpata mkandarasi atakayejenga miundo mbinu ya kusafirisha huo umeme kutoka ethiopia kuja Tanzania.Ngoja tuone

US-based Symbion Power LLC, is currently looking for partners in the construction of a $1.3 billion (about Sh2.7 trillion) power plant in Mtwara that will see Tanzania exporting electricity to a number of countries in the region.

Speaking after attending the Powering Africa conference on Friday, the Symbion chief executive officer, Mr Paul Hinks said the envisaged gas-powered plant will produce 600 MW.

He said the project is set to begin in 2017.

"Under this major power project, Tanzania is set to export electricity to the neighbouring countries of Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Burundi and Rwanda. It will be the biggest gas-powered plant in the region," he said.

He said the project funded by the US government will be undertaken in two phases. The first phase will entail construction of a 400MW gas-powered plant while the remaining 200MW will be made available under the second phase.

"We are currently discussing with potential partners to develop the power plant. Next year will be a busy year for soliciting project partners," he said.

The deputy managing director for Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco), Mr Declan Mhaiki, said such a project was intended to establish a strong business in electricity exports that will see Tanzania earning foreign currency through trading in electricity.

He said upon completion of the project, shortage of electricity will be a thing of the past in Tanzania.

"This project is very good for our economy as we expect to export electricity in large quantities to neignbouring countries….we will be able to earn substantially in foreign exchange," he stressed.

Speaking during the conference a number of international investors were optimistic that the country has huge investment opportunities in the energy sector. They said Tanzania possesses almost all sources of energy, ranging from renewable and non-renewable options.

The non-renewable sources include biomass, natural gas, coal, hydro-power and nuclear power, while the renewable sources include solar, geothermal and wind energy.

ukiwa hujui kitu nakushauri usiwe unaongea
hizo data zako ni za uongo
hivi unajua hata Tanzania wanazalasha megawatt ngapi?

Hua naongea kwa fact sitoi data kichwani.
Sasa fungua hizi links za Wikipedia zinaonyesha List of power plants in Nigeria na South Africa na amount ya power wanayogenerate. Kama huamini Wikipedia basi nenda ukaamini story za vijiweni.

Alafu huo ushauri wako, "Ukiwa hujui kitu nakushauri usiwe unaongea" naomba nikupe wewe mwenyewe

Japo nakubali kua 600MW still ni ndogo ukizingatia Tanzania tunataka tuingie kwenye mambo ya viwanda. Ila wewe jamaa hizo data umetudanganya si mchezo, hizo estimation zako unatoa tu kichwani, hadi 2014 Nigeria average power generation ilikua 3.9KMW wewe unasema 50K yaani umezidisha zaidi ya mara kumi, na South Africa wanaproduce hadi 50KMW wewe umezidisha mara mbili. Na hiyo ya South Africa anagawa umeme kwa kama nchi nne.

Naona hujapitia vizuri kusoma posts.. Nimeshasema K inamaanisha "Kilo" 3.9K maana yake 3,900. 50K - 50,000.
Sasa 3.9KMW maana yake 3,900 Mega Watts...
Jifunze mambo uelimike kidogo
 
Mnawachanganya wananchi.tumeambiwa kuna mpango wa kununua Umeme kutoka Ethiopia hapa mnatuambia tutauza Umeme nchi za jirani.hii mipango yenu ikoje? Btw mw 600 ni Umeme kidogo sana kuweza kuuza nje.hebu msije kuingia mikataba ya kilaghai jamani.watu wapo kibiashara zaidi shauri yenu.

Vichekesho kweli... Vi Megawatt 600 tunavipigia hesabu ya kuuza wakati hata hapa kwetu umeme haujatosha??

Ile sera ya Magufuli ya Viwanda tutaitekeleza kwa Umeme upi??

Nilidhani ni typing error labda ni Megawati 6000, kama ni 600 huu ni utani kwa serikali hii ya Magufuli!Hawa ni majipu ya kutumbua, waende zao wapuuzi hawana nia njema na nchi!Serikali iwekeze yenyewe

Hii ni hatari sana kwa uchumi wa nchi. Kuanzia mwanzo wa ujenzi wa bomba la gas kutoka mtwara kuja Dar ambalo lililogharimu zaidi ya Tsh Trilion 1 ili gasi itumike kuzalishia umeme, nilifikiri kwa nini ujenzi wa mitambo ya kinyerezi na mingineyo haikufanyika Mtwara ili kuepuka gharama za bomba la gas. Umeme ungezalishwa moja kwa moja kutoka mtwara na kuingia kwenye Grid ya Taifa kuanzia mwanzo.

After all, sisi tunaposema largest Gas-Fired Plant itakayo zalisha 600MW, Ethiopia itakuwa inazalisha 6000MW kutoka Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam.

Kwa nini usilinganishe Gas Fired Plant na Gas Fired Plant, Ethiopia walinganishe na mambo ya mtera Dam kumbuka tabia nchi na uzururaji wa wafugaji katika kuzalisha majangwa kila wanapotimba. Kama imefikia 600MW ukilinganisha na songosongo basi bongo itasogea ado ado na kama walivyokwambia hapo juu fursa bongo zipo kuanzia makaa, nuclear mpaka renewable energy. Wengine wakienda liganga wakapiga 1000MW mpaka Namptumbo kutoa 100,000MW kutoka katika vinu vya kinyuklia inawezekana.

Tabia yenu ya kutopenda vyenu na kuthamini vya nje ni sheeda, mbona husemi Ethiopia wanatoa ngapi katika GAs.

Huu ni ulaghai kwa nini hawa Symbion sijui nini wanataka kutuibia tena, umeme wanaozalisha kwa pesa za peremende lakini gharama yake ni ya ajabu. JPM chunguza hili, TANESCO wafanye hizi kazi sio makuwadi wa wageni. Lipo jipu kubwa sana kwenye uzalishaji wa umeme hawa wanajitajirisha isivyo halali kwa mgongo wa walipa kodi.

Wakenya mnaweza kujilinganisha kuishinda Tanzania kibiashara si zaidi ya miaka 20 ijayo .vinginevyo mhesabu maumivu, Tanzania in baba Lao EAC nchi hii ilikosa uongozi bora Lakini with abundant natural resource, lakini with WhatWouldMagufuliDo subirini maumivu, Yule Msukuma halembi Yuko kikazi zaidi na ni scientist aliyekamilika.

Nasikia Muhonga ananunua Megawatt 400 Ethiopia...

Wakati tuna uwezo wa kuzalisha zaidi ya Gigawatt 6 Bonde la Mto Rufiji..
 
Hizo ni siasa tu kila mwaka ni hadith za miradi ya kufikirika tu, malizeni kwanza kinyerezi umeme mlioahidi kuwa historia uwake halafu ndo mlete hizo longo longo.

Nigeria inazalisha megawatt 50,000 kwa mwezi na bado haziwatoshi, South Africa megawatt 100,000 kwa mwezi bado haziwatoshi. Sisi megawatt 600 na tunawaza kuuza umeme. Daah ngoja tuone

Nadhani baada ya kuona na kutosheleza mahitaji ndipo suala la kuuza nje umeme litafikiriwa.. maana kuuza umeme nako kunahitaji maandalizi na miundombinu.

Juzi Ethiopia wamezindua power plant yenye uwezo wa kuzalisha more than 3000MW wewe unaongea kuhusu 600MW as the biggest in Africa? Umelogwa?

Amesema" in the region" that statement didn't mention any other countries besides zile ambazo zimetajawa kwamba zitauziwa umeme ambazo ni Mozambique, Zambia , Malawi , Rwanda na Burundi. Ikumbukwe huo ni mradi moja bado mengine ipo na Investors wengine wapo. Kwa hiyo uwezekano wa kuuza umeme mkubwa tu.
 
  1. Nakumbuka kuna wakati aliyekuwa kiongozi wetu alitoka Marekani kujadiliana na hao hao wawekezaji na akatangaza mgao wa umeme ungekuwa historia!
  2. Makala ya Wikipidia inadai kwamba robo ya umeme wote unaozalishwa Tanzania hupotea kwenye njia mbovu za usambazaji. Uzalishaji mpya uendane na uimarishaji wa njia za kusambaza umeme.
  3. Siku chache zilizopita Waziri Muhongo alisikika kwenye vyombo vya habari akisema ili tuwe na uchumi wa kati itabidi tuzalishe angalau 10,000MW. Kwa hali hiyo hizo 600MW sio nyingi sana.
  4. Kwa sasa, ni asilimia 20 tu ya Watanzania wameunganishwa kwenye gridi ya umeme. Inawezekana kufikisha gridi ya umeme nchi nzima, kama alivyofanya Rawlings huko Ghana alipokuwa Rais.
  5. Wawekezaji wengi hutaja kiasi kikubwa cha gharama kwani wataruhusiwa kurudisha gharama yote kabla ya kulipa kodi na kugawana "faida". Miaka mingi wametumia rushwa kupata viongozi wanaokubaliana na hivyo viwango vya uongo.
  6. Tusipoangalia, gesi itazalishwa kwetu, umeme utafuliwa kwetu na kuuzwa, na fedha zote zitatolewa nje. Sisi tutabaki na moshi wa kiwanda tu.

You are right - wapo kwa kufatilia nyenendo za Uwekezaji wa Wachina na ikiwezekana watajaribu ku-undermine uwekezaji wao kwa kushirikiana na watu wasio waaminfu, chukulia safari ya Putin kutembelea Tanzania ilivyo yeyuka - naye alikuwa anataka kuwekeza kwenye masuala ya mafuta na gesi.

Majuzi waziri wa umeme wa jamhuri alilalamika kwamba SIMBION wameandaa mabilioni ili kuua harakati za Serikali kupitia TANESCO kujitoshereza kwa umeme kwa TANESCO kuwekeza kwenye Uzalishaji.

Yaani Simbion inataka kuhodhi biashara ya uzalishaji umeme kwa kuwahonga wabunge fulani fulani mabilioni.

Leo simbion nao wapo hewani.

Kweli hapa kunakitu kinakuja, si haba,
 
600 Mw kwa matumizi ya ndani hazitoshi sembuse kuuza nje ya nchi. symbion wanadhihirisha Ni kampuni ndogo kwa masuala ya nishati.
kule kwao inaweza kuwa Ni kampuni ya kuzalisha umeme eneo kama la kinondoni tu.
hawa symbion inawezekana walipigwa tafu na serikali ya America kwakuwa wao ndiyo watoaji WA ela za mcc

Hata 50% ya watanzania hawana umeme ila wanawaza kuuza umeme nje.

Hahahahahahaha

Kuna shida kubwa na hawa wamarekani... wanatumia serikali kudalalia mambo!! They are vuvuzelazing this project wakati we (Tanzania) could do it bila kelele

Ile issue ya MCC na Symbion ni shida
