International energy
investment company, Continental Energy Corporation, and its Tanzania
affiliate Ruaha River Power Company Ltd., have announced the start of
construction on the first of four Tanzania Mini-Grids that are scheduled
to be built.
The
Ruaha Power “mini-grids” will all be installed in the Kilosa District,
Morogoro Region, Tanzania with electrical power generated, distributed,
and sold to customers at pre-payment meters.
Phase-I of the Tanzania electricity
development project is expected to start delivering power by the end of
the first quarter of 2015, but the process of subscribing customers from
a waiting list of at least 400has already begun.
Phase-II of the project will include
the addition of solar PV capacity to complete a hybrid biomass/solar PV/
diesel powered Mini-Grid.
Upon completion the four Malolo
Mini-Grids will have a combined generation capacity of 300kw, with each
Mini-Grid delivering 75kw of power to 2,500 residential, commercial, and
light industrial customers |
