Demand for new sources of
power to fuel growth
• T

7% per year, according to the IMF
• Significant power under-capacity, as the country has less
than 1000MW operational, out of the 2000MW it requires
• To meet its growth demands, the country
requires the development of new sources of
power – the Tanzanian government is therefore
highly supportive of Kibo’s coal project
• Tanzania is focused on developing IPPs, with
simplified and accelerated handling of projects
• Major development of power transmission
network commencing in 2014
• Competitive tax and regulatory regime, peaceful
working environment and trained technical staff
