No wonder you are so angry...hahaha
Tanzania Energy Sector Overview
Tanzania has a variety of energy resources, which include natural gas, biomass, hydropower, geothermal, coal, solar and wind. Although the Government of Tanzania (GOT) is aggressively pursuing the expansion of generation capacity and grid extension, much of this energy potential remains untapped. The continued development of Tanzania’s energy sector is critical to the country’s ability to grow economically, attract foreign direct investment (FDI), and spark industrialization. Tanzania has 1,358 megawatts (MW) of installed grid generation capacity to serve its population of over 51 million, and an additional 76 MW in isolated mini-grids. Electricity production meets less than 15 percent of the demand per annum. Less than 30 percent of the population is connected to the grid. Tanzania’s vibrant mini-grid and off-grid sub-sectors have been identified as being the most cost-effective strategy to serving about half of the rural population.
