Tanzania plans to spend $3.21 billion over the next five years to bring electricity to an estimated one million rural households in the country. The power needed to generate this electricity will use natural gas as its feedstock.
“The five-year rural electrification project whose implementation starts in this 2016/17 government financial year is expected to benefit up to 5 million people,”GissimaNyamo-Hanga, acting director general of the state-run Rural Energy Agency (REA), was cited as saying in a Reuters report. The government will fund a good portion on its own, but it also expects to receive financial assistance from its development partners to implement the project.
The government wants to lift the proportion of the population with access to electricity to 85% by 2025.
