Mr Camponovo said that the plant has been connected to the TANESCO grid since Friday 3rd June, and that Symbion has been testing the turbines while supplying power to TANESCO, and the machines are functioning well.
He said the power supply to TANESCO at this testing period would be free-of-charge.

The introduction of the Symbion Power Plant to the Tanzanian electricity network will help alleviate the problems experienced in the country caused by severe power shedding. “This is a start,” said Chris Camponovo, Country Director. “In the future we aim to increase the capacity of this particular plant and we are researching other investment opportunities in the generation, transmission and distribution sectors where Symbion has extensive expertise.” Mr. Camponovo continued, “The government has made electricity supply a key priority.
They also need to make gas supply a priority because currently there is insufficient gas to fully power this plant, or to expand it. The Symbion plant is ISO rated at 112 MW but can only produce a maximum of 75 MW due to the lack of gas.”
When asked about the company’s negotiations with TANESCO, Mr. Camponovo declined to comment, stating, “we cannot talk about our bid proposal or provide any details about ongoing discussions due to strict government procurement rules. This is entirely normal in such circumstances. I am sure that when and if there is something to announce, TANESCO will do so. Right now, we are simply testing the power plant on load in case it is needed.” 
Symbion Power is an American company that specializes in developing complex turnkey electric power infrastructure systems, including transmission lines, substations and switchyards and thermal power plants, in regions of the world where conflict and instability are major impediments to progress. The company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has offices in several other countries.

kweli tatizo lilikuwa mmiliki ni mvaa kanzu.ehe kaja mvaa suti mitambo hiyo hiyo ya dowans imewashawa watu kimya.hii nchi kazi.
ReplyDeletehiyo ndio tanzania ukifutilia mambo ya siasa utakuwa kichaa bure bora ukae kimya tu
ReplyDeleteHongera kwa kusema ukweli. Kanzu ndiyo ilikuwa tatizo, labda niongezee na jina.
ReplyDeleteNimecheka vibaya sana baada ya kusoma comments za hapo juu kuhusu mvaa kanzu. Ni kweli huyou mvaa kanzu alikuwa anachuma hela ya family yake tu, hakujua kuwa hiyo ni muda mfupi. Ulaya watu wana business zinafanywa na generation na generation ya family, lakini Tanzania mtu akiingia kwenye business anataka kula haraka haraka na kuwaumiza watu wengi haraka haraka ndio maana hazina baraka! Sasa Mvaa suti anataka sio yeye tu afaidike bali watu wote na generation ya family yake miaka yote inayokuja. Angalia maduka ulaya ambayo yameanzishwa miaka 1900, family bado zinaendeleza business. Tanzania wakubwa ni kutaka hela za haraka, kuanzia wanasiasa mpaka mwanamgambo! Mungu atusamehe.
ReplyDeleteWadau hapo juu wanakasumba za suti. Ulaya kuna biashara kibao zinafilisika kila siku. Isipokuwa wenzetu wanafaidika na mikopo ambayo sasa imeshitukiwa na Credit Crunch. Tanzania watu hawana utaalamu wa kufanya biashara na ndio maana biashara nyingi hufa.
ReplyDeleteNgojeeni tu umeme upande, unafikiri mmarekani atakuuzia umeme kwa bei chee kama ulivyozoea. Halafu tutawasikia kelele zenu, tatizo la wadangayika hamuoni mbele. Utility ni very expensive, nchi moja tu duniani umeme bure - LIBYA na hiyo wameshaifisidi.
ReplyDeleteWatu wanaropoka mvaa kanzu mvaa kanzu, tazama mabillionea waliopo nchi za ghuba ni nani?sio hao hao wavaa kanzu? au kuna wavaa suti Dubai na Abudhabikama mnavyodai?na huyo mvaa kanzu wa Dowans hakuwa pekee yake kula pesa za wadanganyika msiwasahau mabosi wa Tanesco na wa wizara ya Nishati mbona hamuwalaumu?.hata hao symbion wameshasema bei ya umeme itakuwa sawa na ya Dowans, kwa hio hakuna cha kufurahia hapo.Sahau cha bure.Hata tulie bakora zipo palepale.
ReplyDeleteKinachotakiwa tuwe na umeme wetu wenyewe sio wa symbion wala GE.
Mimi nashangaa sana sisi watanzania tunakoelekea! mtu kutoa comment ambazo directly zinagusa hisia za watu wa imani fulani ambao hujulikana kuvaa mavazi hayo ni uchokozi usio wa lazima. kama kulikuwa na udhaifu ni wa mmliki wa Dowans na si wavaa kanzu, kwa nini mtu analink na imani?
ReplyDeleteComment za namna hii huoni kutoka kwa waislamu. kwa mfano mafisadi wengi hata waliochota hela EPA ni christian lakini hukuti muislam akahusianisha na dini zao.
