Renewable energy

enterprises

1. Create business development opportunities through

increasing access to energy through mini-grids;

2. Mainstream the use of renewable energy in industry

(SMEs);

3. Support innovative business models to promote renewable energy in the business sector

UNIDO/GEF Project: SHP Mini-grid based to augment

Rural electrification in Tanzania

• Aiming at medium term results – In collaboration with local institutions

• MEM, CoET-UDSM, TANESCO, REA, WBU, private developers

• Objective – To promote market-based approaches to Micro hydropower

based mini grids in Tanzania to augment rural electrification

• Activities: – Technical assessment and mapping of small scale hydro

hydropower resources in Tanzania

– Capacity building of relevant stakeholders in developing MHP based mini-grids

– Viable business model for rural MH mini grid developed

– Demonstration of technical and economic viability of Micro hydro-power technologies

• Milestone so far-1:

– More than 30 individuals trained on technical

issues related to MHP development

– 5 Masters students specializing on MHP

sponsored at CoET, UDSM

– Training on local fabrication of turbines (7

people from different organisations trained in

Indonesia) – license received

– Establishment of Mini hydro technical centre,

hosted at UDSM, CoET

• Milestone so far-2: • Establishment of Mini hydro technical centre, hosted

at UDSM, CoET

• Six mini/micro-hydropower sites supported at different

stages

• East African Centre for Renewable Energy and

Energy Efficiency (EAC-REEE)

• Coming soon….

Waste to Energy project
