Abstract

Currently, hydroelectric power supply systems in Tanzania are faced with drought, site and water management problems hindering efficient and reliable power supply from this source. Thermal power systems that were intended to alleviate the shortage of hydroelectricity that arise during the dry season are themselves expensive due to high operational and running costs as a result of the increasing prices of petroleum and spare parts.
