TANZANIA COMMISSIONS COUNTRY'S LARGEST HYDROPOWER PLANT. (PHOTOS)


 Tanzania commissions country's largest hydropower plant


Tanzania commissioned a new 2,115-megawatt hydropower plant on Saturday, more than doubling the East African nation's electricity generation capacity and ​creating a surplus that officials say could support power exports and ‌industrial growth.


The Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHPP), Tanzania's biggest power plant, was built on the Rufiji River at a cost of about 7.45 trillion Tanzanian shillings ($2.84 billion).


President Samia Suluhu ​Hassan, who inaugurated the plant, said it had helped eliminate a ​power generation shortfall that in the past has led to ⁠frequent and economically crippling blackouts.


"We are confident that this project will increase ​opportunities for business, investment, and production, create jobs, and boost individual income and ​the national GDP as a whole," she said, Reuters reported.


The project lifts the country's total power generation capacity to 4,646 MW against peak demand of 2,271 MW, leaving a surplus of ​2,375 MW for exports, Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi said.


He added that Tanzania ​was already in discussions to export electricity to several countries, including Kenya and Zambia.
