Tanzania suffers from continuing energy shortages, due to the impact of recurring drought on the country’s existing hydroelectric power generation. The Tanzanian Government is now seeking to accelerate access to electricity across the nation, with a particular view to improving rural access to electricity.
This is being accomplished in part by incentivising renewable energy development. Tanzania’s Government is currently in the process of developing a framework to accomplish this through renewable energy feed in tariffs, offering guaranteed pricing for solar and wind generated power.
