Tanzania Pre-Investment Report on Mini Hydropower Development : Case Study on the Muhuwesi River
The report examines three case studies
in Tanzania, and presents the findings for hydropower
development, based on cost-effective schemes designs,
intended to benefit the country's state-owned electric
power utility - TANESCO - for power generation,
transmission, and distribution. The primary objective of the
study is to look for economical, and reliable alternatives
for meeting the growing electric power demand in different
regions, particularly remote, and not yet served by the
national grid. The existing local grid supply is by and
large, from diesel-engine-driven generators, thus not
reliable, and expensive to operate, and maintain. Each case
study reviews the project area and its topographic features,
surveying geological and hydrological aspects, to assess
power, and energy, and civil works requirements. An
economical, financial, and sensitivity analysis was
conducted, and implementation costs are presented, including
environmental considerations. Recommendations suggest a
cascade development, consisting of small hydropower stations
at the Malagarasi River; implement a series of small
hydropower projects close to the demand center for the
Muhuwesi River; and, a medium hydropower project close to
the demand center, for the Kikuletwa River.
