...more than USD1bn was immediately needed to lessen power transmission losses now estimated at within the range of 27 percent of total electricity generation.- IPPMEDIA, TANZANIA.
Some long-time readers of this blog will remember my frustrations with the energy infrastructure in Tanzania. The situation does not seem to be improving anytime soon- so much that I am seriously exploring the economics of implementing off-grid power such as solar to complement the diesel generators we use in the family business for real-estate projects... If you haven't noticed- there's currently a Green craze in the US and most definitely at Stanford GSB- I am now tapping into this knowledge from classmates before graduation.
Speaking of Green- I am off to Yosemite this weekend to enjoy the glorious Spring- should be fun.

Power generation is a big headache to our leaders who think otherwise. I really do not see a near future solution from the current leadership. It is high time that whoever can explore other means of power generation does so for the best interest of our motherland.

Its a big headache indeed! Off grid atleast gives us reliability even if we don't get good cost savings.
