THE country’s resources which are suitable for solar power generation are estimated to be equivalent to those of Spain, and areas of high wind power potential cover more than ten per cent of the country – a greater potential than the US State of California!
According to the World Bank’s Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP), the current electrification rate in Tanzania stands at 18.4 per cent. The target is to increase the access to modern electricity to 75 per cent of the population by 2035.
The Government of Tanzania has requested the support of the World Bank and ESMAP’s Renewable Energy Mapping Initiative to enhance the country’s knowledge on renewable energy development – and increase the awareness of the private sector to develop these resources.
Speaking at a media briefing held in Dar es Salaam last month on the findings, the Managing Director of the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TanESCo), Felchesmi Mramba, mentioned that “these maps will be good guidance for investors who are interested in investing in renewable power projects – thereby speeding up the expansion of sustainable power generation”.
Tanzania’s energy mapping is part of a global, US$22.5 million initiative by ESMAP to help 12 countries analyze their renewable energy resources to guide policymakers and investors.
The US$2.8 million programme in Tanzania is one of the largest under this initiative. After the briefing on the findings, the country inaugurated its first solar and wind mapping station on the rooftop of the Physics Department at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM).
According to the Five-Year Development Plan (FYDP) under TanESCo’s Power System Master Plan (PSMP), the target is to increase per capita electricity consumption from 81kWh in 2011/12 to 200kWh by 2015/16.
The resource mapping activity is part of a broader World Bank programme of technical assistance that will assist the Government of Tanzania in scaling up small-hydro power potential – and building the capacity of key stakeholders in each of the above areas.

Never let a problem become an excuse. Put your Problem in Proper Perspective. What is the secret ingredient of tough people that enables them to succeed? Why do they survive the tough times when others are overcome by them? Why do they win when others lose? Why do they soar when others sink? The answer is very simple. It's all in how they perceive their problems.
