    The Zege village Micro-Hydropower project is a new project to be constructed in Zege village,

    located in the Usambara Mountains, Tanga region. It is a decentralized electricity generation

    system that will use Kidabwa stream crossing Zege village. The overall objective of this

    project is to contribute to poverty reduction of the Zege villagers by introducing hydropower to

    the area for productive use of electricity and finally improving living standard and reducingpoverty in rural areas through improved access to electricity from micro hydro power plants for

    small-scale enterprises and households in rural areas.

    Tanzania Traditional Energy Development and Environment Organization (TaTEDO) is

    the sole owner and main project developer, with room of other participating

    stakeholder to come in. The organization was established in 1990 as a non profit

    sharing organization for spearheading development of sustainable energy

    technologies and services while conserving the environment.

    The project core activities involve constructing a micro hydro power plant with power output

    capacity of 70 kW and installation of the local mini-grid and distribution lines to the targeted

    consumers (households, social services, institutions and small enterprises) and would

    charged on monthly basis. Billing will be according to the loads connected to the mini-grid,

    independent metering will be installed to each commercial customer so as to simplify monthly

    electricity revenue collection in accordance with electricity usage. The revenue accrued from

    customers will be used for maintenance of the plant and village development activities. This

    project activity also contemplates the production of clean power that will contribute to reduce

    dependence on imported kerosene and reduce greenhouse gases emission specifically CO2,

    which would have occurred otherwise, in the absence of this project. The GHG emitted will be

    traded in Carbon Market and the revenue accrued will used in village development projects

    that are focusing on poverty reduction as well as contributing in maintenance and operation

    costs. TaTEDO will implement the project in partnership with Zege villagers

    This business plan has been prepared to the attention of potential investors that are willing to

    support TaTEDO financially. Total investments for the project is estimated to USD 208,320

    which is an average of investment cost of 2,976 USD/Kw. Depending on availability of

    investment funding, the project will start in the year 2008 and construction work is planned to

    be completed in six months time. As already mentioned, specialized development funds

    (CER) will be tapped into from 2009 onwards.

    1. Background Information

    The vast majority of Tanzanians, both rural and urban, do not have access to modern energy

    services. Barely two percent of rural Tanzanians are connected to the national grid1. The

    National Energy Policy (2003) sets objectives to ensure availability of reliable and affordable

    energy supplies and to improve their use in a national and sustainable manner in order to

    support national development goals. To date, extensive rural electrification has not been a

    major priority for National Utility Company (TANESCO) due to the high cost implications and

    limited funding1. The power demand of a typical rural areas served by TANESCO is between

    a few hundred kW and a few MW. The supply has been achieved either by an extension of the

    national grid or by installation of an isolated generation system. Rural electrification is being

    considered as an important prerequisite for gradually raising living standards and reducing

    poverty of the people in the project area. In this project, it is deemed important that rural

    electrification focuses on existing and potential productive income-generating activities in the

    fields of small-scale users. According to Tanzania Rural Electrification Study (2005)2, the

    proposed technical solutions for the Electricity Supply of Rural Areas among others, is the

    decentralized local supply through village grid or individual home supply.

    2. Project Descr iption

    Micro hydropower stations are usually defined as ones with power output of less than 100kW.

    The Zege village Micro-Hydropower project is a new project to be constructed in Zege village,

    located in the Usambara Mountains, Tanga region. It will be a decentralized electricity

    generation system that will use Kidabwa stream crossing Zege village. The overall objective of

    this project is to contribute to poverty reduction of the Zege villagers by introducing

    hydropower to the area for productive use of

    electricity and finally improving living standard

    and reducing poverty in rural areas through

    improved access to electricity from micro

    hydro power plants for small-scale enterprises

    and households in rural areas.

    Feasibility study conducted by the project

    developer (TaTEDO) revealed that the stream

    has sufficient water flow throughout the year

    and sufficient head to generate electricity estimated to 70kW for the run-of-river scheme. The

    proposed project will focus on provision of electricity for consumptive and productive uses in

    Zege village and the neighboring villages. Moreover, the project will also contribute to the

    countrys programme on rural electrification coverage.

    The project core activities involve constructing a micro hydro power plant with power output

    capacity of 70 kW and installation of the local mini-grid and distribution lines to the targeted

    consumers (households, social services, institutions and small enterprises). Households will

    be billed according to the loads connected to the mini-grid, independent metering will be

    installed to each commercial customers so as to simplify monthly electricity revenue collection

    in accordance with electricity usage. The revenue accrued from customers will be used for

    maintenance of the plant and village development activities. This project activity also

    contemplates the production of clean power that will contribute to reduce dependence on

    imported kerosene and reduce greenhouse gases emission specifically CO2, which would

    have occurred otherwise, in the absence of this project.

    3. Project Site Profile

    Zege village is located around 30 km northeast of Korogwe township in Usambara Mountains,

    Korogwe District Tanga Region. Korogwe is one of the six districts of Tanga Region and is

    situated roughly 4038 to 4057 S and 38029 to 38037 E. The district has a total land area of

    about 3,500 sq.km. It bordered by Kilimanjaro Region to the northwest, Lushoto to the north-

    east and Muheza districts to the east respectively. The district is mountainous with

    meandering valleys and elevation that ranges from 500 to 1700 metres above the sea level. It

    has a mountain climate with a maximum temperature ranging between 200C to 250C and a

    minimum temperature range of 150C to 210C rainfall is extremely variable, ranging from 12mm

    to 1500mm per year. Mountaneous area of Korogwe is covered with forests and has a number

    of indigenous protected forests. It is administratively divided into 4 divisions, 21 wards and

    230 villages. 2002 census showed a population of 419,970 of whom 54.3% are women.

    The village has 3118 people, 607 households, 2 primary schools, 1 nursery school, 3

    mosques and 3 churches. The main economic activity of this area is agricultural based, with

    various crops like spice, coffee, banana, maize, vegetables and fruits being cultivated. Non-

    agricultural enterprises include retail shops, food vending in small outlets, tailoring, and local

    beer brewing and grain milling. This milling enterprise is powered by hydro and it was

    constructed in 1994 by the Catholic Church. The energy solution for lighting for most of the

    villagers is kerosene, dry cell battery for radio and firewood for cooking. Other important

    services like refrigeration and TV are not available due to lack of electricity. According to

    national rural electrification master plan there is

    no plan to extend the grid to the village in the

    near future.

    4. Project Ownership

    Tanzania Traditional Energy Development and Environment Organisation (TaTEDO) is the

    sole owner and main project developer, with room of other participating stakeholder to come

    in. TaTEDO is a sustainable energy development national non-governmental organisation

    based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania with activities in several districts, and more than fifteen

    (15) years experience actively involved in sustainable energy development projects and

    programmes especially in rural areas. The organisation was established in 1990 as a non

    profit sharing organisation for spearheading development of sustainable energy technologies

    and services while conserving the environment. TaTEDO will implement the project in

    partnership with Zege villagers.

    TaTEDO will provide technical expertise, overall management and also monitor development

    and performance of the project during its lifetime. TaTEDO has strong experience and

    capability of micro hydropower designing and installation. In 2006, TaTEDO in collaboration

    by UNIDO did design, construct and undertake installation of micro hydro plant at KINKO

    village located within the same locality with the proposed project area (Zege village). The

    construction of a 10kW KINKO plant went in line with supplying electricity to 100 houses as

    initial installation. The contact person for TaTEDO is Mr. Estomih Sawe, who is also the

    TaTEDO Executive Director. (CV attached)

    5. OPPORTUNITY

    Customer description

    The targeted customers are household, institutions, businesses and small medium enterprise

    that will be started as a result of this project. Based on interviews conducted with villagers,

    village leaders and other participating stakeholders during feasibility study it was revealed that

    60% of households are willing and able to pay their monthly electricity bills at a cost of USD 3

    per month and 40% of households are willing and able to pay USD 5 per month. Businesses

    and SMEs were willing and ready to pay for electricity services charges up to USD 8 per

    month. Other potential customers are earmarked to come for the six neighbouring villages of

    Manka, Mbaghai, Nkamai, Kwefingo, Msasa and Kwafunda. Successful implementation of this

    is intended to benefit more than 300 households. Presence of electricity to this village will

    result into income generating small enterprises like hair cutting and beauty salons; saw milling

    machines, etc, thus creating jobs and income to the villagers. The potential of agro-processing

    industries is high since the area is endowed with a lot of fruits. Consequently, the situation will

    create jobs for the villagers and for the near by villages nearby the site.

    Customer potential

    The village has 3118 residents, 607 households, 2 primary schools and 1 nursery school. It

    has 3 mosques and 2 churches. The villagers are also engaged in livestock keeping and crop

    cultivation including tea, spice, cassava, maize, banana and vegetables. The village is

    surounded by six villages which are expected to use the same power. As noted earlier about

    60% of the households are will be able to pay their bills. This customer level plus those

    expected to come neighbouring villages is quite sufficient to support and sustain this project to

    profitability.

    Competiti on and Competiti ve advantage

    Currently there is no any other source of electrical power in the area, implying that all the

    village households, businesses; institutions are potential customers of the project. On the

    other hand the power utility company has no future plans of extending the grid to this project

    according to company rural electrification master plan. The costs of energy solutions currently

    in use are high when compared to cost of the service this project will be offering its customers.

    The survey conducted in the project area indicated the average amount spent for other energy

    substitutes per household per month as shown in the table: -

    6. Technical Descript ion

    The scheme will be located at the Kidabwa stream; it

    will consist of small diversion weir, canal headrace,

    penstock pipe and the powerhouse where the

    electromechanical equipment will be installed. The

    figure aside shows a map of the project area with the

    proposed layout of the project.

    The scheme is run-of-river, these is no reservoir that

    will be constructed for the purpose of electricity

    generation, part of water will be diverted to run the

    turbine and will come back to the original course after

    running the machine. The diversion and intake point

    will be located on top of the waterfalls located at

    an altitude of 1200 meters above see level.

    There is solid rock in the riverbed and therefore

    making it strong enough for the weir base.

    The best location for the water route was found

    to be on the eastern side of the stream. The

    terrain is steep in the direction of the stream.

    There is already an existing canal that can be

    used for this purpose at the entrance of the

  • 7/29/2019 70 KW Hydel

    8/19

    8

    water to the turbine, the PVC pipe will be used to run water at a pressure to the turbine.

    The power house will be constructed by the existing headrace canal to the water mill. The

    terrain is suitable, but there is soil in the surface. The power station will be constructed in

    bricks with a concrete foundation.

    The plan is to transmit the power with 400 volts from the hydropower station and directly to the

    different sub villages of Zege village. The nearest group of houses is located at 1km from the

    proposed powerhouse location, to enhance networking to the other parts of the village about

    3km transmission line has to be built; for the first plan the project will be able to transmit power

    to the consumers without using transformer, for the short distances electrical losses are

    insignificant. The cross section area of the wires will vary with the load, but most probably

    320 mm2 will be used for most of the distance. 316 mm2 and 325 mm2 may also be used.

    Figure 1 gives a clue of the transmission line routing. The power will be distributed to the

    different houses in the village. It is expected that around 300 houses will be connected to the

    local grid out of more than 600 households present in the whole village.

    Hydrology Information

    The isohyetal map of the Pangani Basin

    shows that the precipitation is at around 1500

    mm a year or 47 litres/sec/km2. The

    evaporation however is difficult to detect. The

    average monthly rainfall in the western

    Usambaras is varying quite a lot. Especially

    the months J une - October can be quite dry.

    Therefore the evaporation is probably lower

    than 1000 mm in this area. Assuming that the

    evaporation is 700 mm a year, the remaining

    runoff will be 800 mm a year or 25

    litre/sec/km2

    . The catchments area is measured to 8 km2

    . This makes the average water flow

    825 = 200 l/s which is sufficient to run the planned plant.

    The stream is perennial which is known from statements by the village people and also from

    an onsite dry season observation as well as the fact that the installed hydro mill has been

    running for several years without stopping. A simplified measurement of the water flow was

    made. The water flow was estimated at a point some distance upstream from the intake to 60

  • 7/29/2019 70 KW Hydel

    9/19

    9

    l/s in the end of the dry season. According to the village members, we were observing the

    lowest flow. The flow of 60 l/s is 30 % of 200 l/s. This is a quite sufficient minimum flow, but

    similar measurements have been made in other streams and rivers in Tanzania.

    There is most probably some irrigation activities in the catchments area, but they are limited

    because a large part of the area is forest. The high dry season water flow indicates that only a

    small portion of the water is consumed. There is no long time data recorded for the stream,

    nevertheless as noted earlier the presence of installed hydro mill in operation for more than

    ten years proves that there is sufficient flow throughout the year.

    7. The existing structu res and the proposed hydroelectric power project

    As indicated earlier, there is an existing

    hydro powered milling machine utilizing

    water from this project water stream. The

    hydro milling machine was constructed in

    1994 by the aid of Catholic Church who

    sourced the donor, villagers provided

    workforce during construction period, and

    the project took almost one year from

    decision making to commissioning. The

    donor was collecting revenue for the first

    few years for recovering her costs;

    thereafter the donor handed over the machine to the villagers and the RC church who became

    the owners to the present.

    The hydro mill is using a mad canal with a

    total length of about 550m from the intake

    location to the forebay, the forebay is

    designed to store 30,000 litres.

    There is a 200mm PVC penstock pipe

    running through 150m taking water to the

    hydro mill. The head can be approximated

    to be 100m. The turbine used is a normal

    centrifuge pump used in reverse mode as

    a turbine (PAT), this is coupled to the

    grain milling machine.

  • 7/29/2019 70 KW Hydel

    10/19

    10

    The planned project will be installed upstream of the existing hydro mill so as to allow it to

    continue operating as usual. Another possible arrangement is to utilise the same forebay by

    putting another pipes in parallel with the existing one. The proposed hydropower station will

    therefore not interfere the operation of the hydro mill.

    8. Project Returns

    Since this hydropower station will not be connected to the national grid the income will be

    limited by the economic ability of the people in the village. On the other hand the hydropower

    station will get the income from production, transmission/ distribution and sale of power

    generated. Based on the fact finding of economic ability of the targeted customers, it is

    projected that half the village households or 300 houses will be connected to the hydropower

    station and that they will be paying on an average of US$ 4 a month or US$ 48 a year. This

    will give an income for the hydropower station of US$ 14,400 a year. The consumption and

    income from industry is more difficult to project at this initial stage. However in Tanzania as a

    whole, the industries consume about 50 % of the electricity production. As this area consists

    of mainly agriculture it is assumed that the industry will consume 30 % of the total production.

    The income from small enterprises for the first few months may be assumed to bring at least

    US$ 200 per month or US$ 2,400 a year. This makes a total of US$ 16,800 a year. The

    analysis shows that in the beginning the obtained revenue from the generated power will be

    quite reasonable.

    GHG Emiss ions

    Other sources of returns are expected to come from greenhouse gas (GHG) emission

    reduction. This project belongs to Project type 1, RE under category IA - Electricity generation

    by the user. Emissions are calculated as: The annual electrical energy consumed by

    households multiplied by 4 to account for the emissions from a diesel system supporting

    incandescent bulbs and then multiplied by emission factor of diesel generator.

    The baseline scenario for GHG revenues (details are attached to this business plan) is as

    follows:

    CO2t/yr = Annual output x emission factor of diesel generator

    = 70kW*50%*24*365 * 4

    =1226400 * 0.9 kg CO2/year

    =1103 tonnes CO2/year

    GHG emission from the project activity

    Calculated as fuel for transportation x total distance covered x fuel emission factor

    Found insignificant and thus bundling becomes important

    11/19

    11

    Emission reduction due to the project

    Same as the baseline

    Project Activi ty Emissions

    The project scenario involves the installation of a micro-hydro plant as the source of energy

    for the lighting and other electrical energy services that previously did not exist. The

    emissions from the project activity is considered to be zero.

    The project scenario has two activities:

    (i)First inclusion of micro-hydro replacing and extending existing energy services, and

    (ii) The second is introduction and maintenance of fluorescent lamps which are 4 to 5

    times more energy efficient than incandescent lamps.

    Each household will be supplied with two compact fluorescent lamps for lighting purposes

    (10W, 18W). The ex-ante assumption is made that the lamps will be operated on average for

    7 hours per day (this will be subject to pre-project calibration and potentially monitoring).

    Energy efficient lamps are also installed in small business premises and public spaces. When

    the lamps expire they will be replaced, reducing the possibility for take back.

    Payment mode

    There are two ways/alternatives for paying the power

    According to consumption via prepaid meters whereby this is proper for large consumers.

    According to installed capacity in the house, this method is cheap and proper forhouseholds with known appliances.

    The first option could be sufficient for both loads, However, the cost of meter is $ 60 or $ 18

    000 for 300 houses which is not economical for such a small project. This is a considerable

    cost and a system of payment depending on the installed capacity. A system like that will

    probably give higher administration costs. The second option may be proper especially at the

    beginning of the project services, whereby the payments will be set according to the installed

    capacity to a particular house or say according to the appliances used by a particular house.

    Operational costs

    Considering the project plant power output, such a small hydropower station may likely have a

    fairly high operational cost per produced unit. However close assumption is that the project

    will have an estimated operational cost of 1 cent USD/kWh. This gives a total cost of $ 3,700 a

    year. (22% of the total income). Operational costs include salary for operational personnel,

    long time and short time maintenance and cleaning. (Details are in project financials)

    Load and Energy Demand Forecast

    Consumer loads

    Various types of potential consumer loads were determined through counting. Three

    categories customers were identified; domestic consumers, commercial consumers and small

    industries. Domestic consumers include residential houses of all sizes of houses as shown

    below:

    High load houses 5 rooms, kitchen, toilet and bath room

    Medium load houses 3 rooms, toilet and kitchen

    Low load houses 2 rooms and a toilet

    Average load 3 rooms, kitchen and toilet

    Commercial consumers include small shops, bars and restaurants. Small industries including

    milling machine and other merging activities like carpentry workshops.

    Forecast estimates

    Load forecast has been estimated for the period of 20 years. Due to the economic situation it

    is anticipated that in the first few years the load served by the generated electricity will be

    much smaller than the generated power. Future annual peak demand was estimated using the

    historical growth of other similar electrified areas by the public electric power company. In the

    first fouryears after commissioning of the project, load is expected to grow by 25% annually

    to the initial full load. From the firth year onwards the load growth rate will grow differently with

    regards to the type of consumers as follows:

    Residential houses 4%

    Commercial 3%

    Small Industries 2%

    Public lighting 2%

    The forecast of power and energy demand for the twentieth year for the project area is 113.62

    kW and 509,018.88 KWh respectively as shown in table 1. A load factor of 0.5 was assumed

    for the studied project area.

    10. Project Risk Analysis

    Major risks to the successful implementation of the project and measures to manage

    risks

    No Risks Mitigation measures

    Lack of technical and insufficient

    managerial capacities at local level

    village level

    TaTEDO experience will be used to mitigate

    this risk by undertaking local level capacity

    building on management, O&M of project

    Competition arising from other uses of

    water e.g. irrigation versus water for

    electricity generation

    Scheduling of water use to suite the situation

    will be agreed by both project management

    and village government authority. The villagers

    are used to this in the existing hydro mill

    No Risks Mitigation measures

    Level of poverty, may at initial stages

    affect smooth take off and

    sustainability of the project

    Villagers (targeted customers) will provided

    with entrepreneurial trainings to make

    productive use of the generated electricity for

    income generation

    Most of the equipment are not

    available locally, this may increase the

    cost and delay of the project

    completion

    The risk can be mitigated through by

    undertaken transactions process as early as

    possible to meet the project timeline.

    Increasing inflation rates may increase

    installation, operation and maintenance

    costs of the project

    All necessary equipment for installation,

    operation and maintenance costs will be

    transacted using Euro to avoid loses. Goods

    will be bought immediately after securing

    funds

    This project construction work may

    impact the environment negatively

    There will be careful planning so as to avoid

    unnecessary practices that may affect the

    environment. Before construction permit will

    be obtained from the National Environment

    and Management Commission

    Major economic activity is agriculture.

    Adverse climatic conditions may affect

    the economy and therefore consumers

    unable to pay their bills for operational

    and maintenance costs

    To overcome the risk, part of CERs funds will

    be used for operation and maintenance of the

    plant

    Villagers will be coached to start other

    economic activities using the generated

    electricity apart from agricultural based ones.

    Perceived risk on the part of local

    investors / financiers can limit project

    funding opportunities

    Lessons from previous but similar project done

    by TaTEDO will be used to interest them

    Exchange rate risk Fiscal discipline plus a tight monetary policy are

    used to keep the inflation low. Consumerinflation in local currency has continued todecrease from 6.0% in 2000 to 4.4% in 2003where as the real GDP growth remain 6.3% in2003 and 6.6% in 2004. Specifying Euro formost of the financial transactions will mitigateexchange rate risk
