The capacity recorded as of February 2024 is up from 1,694.55 megawatts in 2021/22, according to information released by the Tanzanian presidency. This means that Tanzania added 435.3 megawatts of electricity to its installed power generation capacity over the past three years. The installed capacity refers to the amount of energy that all of the country's power stations are able to produce: The Director of Presidential Communications, Zuhura Yunus (pictured), said in her latest "𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙖 𝙣𝙖 𝙎𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙖" video series on the energy sector that 95.4% of all villages in mainland Tanzania are now connected to electricity supply, which is equivalent to a total of 11,754 villages. The 2,115MW Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHPP), which is nearing completion, is expected to double Tanzania's power capacity. The first turbine at JNHPP was switched on last month, adding 235MW to the national power grid. A second turbine is expected to come on line in the next few days and weeks, adding another 235MW to the grid, which could end national power shortages. The African Development Bank (AfDB) estimates that Tanzania's mid-term peak demand will range between 1,300MW to 1,500MW. The government's target is to reach 5,000MW of installed capacity by 2025 and plans to export excess power to EAC and SADC countries. Apart from JNHPP, the government also plans to invest in gas-fired power plants, wind, solar, geothermal and coal-fired power plants to diversify its energy mix.

In engineering, economics, innovation, and technology, frontiers are being defined. To succeed, we need tangible results that can be published and applied. Who among us will be the next pioneers that will lead Zambia's journey towards progress, prosperity, and exploration? - EinZ

Engineering stands at the core of manufacturing and production, making it the primary driver of development and self-sustainability in any country. Welcome to Engineering in Zambia, the catalyst for transforming the cultural landscape of the next generation.

Engineering Practice thrives in an environment where policy and standards are enacted in liaison with those who implement these actions at the shopfloor #engineeringvoices2024 #thewyman
