Solar and wind to drive Tanzania’s electricity expansion

Tanzania plans to add 1,892 megawatts of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030 as part of a wider plan to expand its power generation capacity to 8,000 megawatts. Energy Permanent Secretary James Mataragio says solar, wind and biomass will play a key role in reaching the target. The expansion forms part of the country’s efforts to increase electricity supply and diversify its energy sources. The government is also looking to meet growing demand from households, businesses and industry. The planned investment in renewables is expected to reduce reliance on traditional power sources and support long-term energy security.
