The project aims to catalyse the generation of about 100 MW, developed by the private sector, with public-sector support targeted to overcome the higher-risk phases of development, and thus make geothermal energy a reliable, low-cost, and significant contributor to Tanzania's electric power supply.
Also, the goal is to increased supply of renewable energy: 700 GWh from geothermal and 178 GWh from off grid renewables (non-binding country targets). IEA/IRENA Global Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database © OECD/IEA and IRENA, [November 2020]
