How Tanzania is mapping its renewable energy future
Tanzania is mapping its potential to generate energy from renewable sources as part of an effort to bridge the East African nation''s electricity deficit. The project, which began in 2013, will reveal the areas of the country most suited to wind, hydropower and solar energy generation. The $3.4 million project is expected to be completed by 2018.
Solar energy might be the best option for Tanzania''s remote areas
If the government wants to increase access to electricity in Tanzania, the most cost-effective solution for remote areas is solar energy. This is according to a report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and Statistics Norway (SSB), which examines how Tanzanian households are driven to connect to the national grid whenever possible or to install and use
