Wind Power Tanzania looking good.6 Oct 2020 14:16
Tanzania hasadopted a national energy policy, called the National Rural Electrification Programme, which aims to increase electricity access from 6% in 2014 to 50% by 2025, focusing specifically on renewables.
The country’s climate and weather are also very conducive to wind energy. According to an analysis published in 2017 by the University of Sydney’s Institute for Sustainable Futures, the country has abundant wind resources, especially in the Great Lakes region, the plains, and the Rift Valley.
Areas such as central Tanzania’s Singida region and Njombe, in the western part of the country, have an average of 9.9m/s and 8.9m/s respectively, an adequate speed for wind-based electricity generation.
