6 FAQs about [Tanzania solar electrification]

Is solar power a solution to rural energy poverty in Tanzania?

Rural energy poverty persists in Tanzania, with 77% of the population not having access to electricity. A combination of high solar radiation and slow extension of the national energy grid has raised off-grid solar PV based mini-grids as a potential solution.

How is solar energy used in Tanzania?

Currently, the potential solar energy resources in Tanzania are used in different parts such as solar thermal for heating and drying and photovoltaic for lighting, water pumps, refrigeration purposes, and telecommunication. Solar energy is used mostly in rural areas with about 64.8% compared to urban areas with only 3.4%.

Are there barriers to large-scale solar power in Tanzania?

The Tanzanian official power system expansion plan shows a dominant dependence on fossil fuel-fired power plants till 2040. Hence identifying and analysing the underlying barriers for the deployment of large-scale renewables are essential. This study investigates the barriers to large-scale solar power in Tanzania.

Is there a solar power project in Tanzania?

The only relatively large-scale solar power project recently commissioned in Tanzania (i.e. the Kigoma 5 MW solar Photovoltaic plant connected to an isolated mini-grid, commissioned late 2017) had a PPA signed in 2013 at a tariff of 18 US¢/kWh.

Are large-scale solar power projects a risky investment in Tanzania?

In Tanzania, risks associated to large-scale solar power projects (no sovereign guarantee and no minimum off-take agreement) are higher than risks associated to conventional power projects (backed and guaranteed by the government). Such high risk perceptions increases the already high upfront investment of large-scale solar power projects further.

What is Tanzania's electri-fication rate?

As of the end of 2018, Tanzania’s national electri-fication rate was 33 percent. In rural areas where two-thirds of the population resides, the rate was considerably lower at 23 percent (World Bank, n.d.).
