坦桑尼亚农村电气化率超过尼日利亚

Tanzania outpace Nigeria in rural electrification rates

关键词：坦桑尼亚，农村电气化，尼日利亚

        据坦桑尼亚能源部长Medard Kalemani博士说，在坦桑尼亚农村地区部署农村电气化的努力有所改进，使这个东非国家在非洲大陆处于领先地位。
        部长说：“最初，尼日利亚以72%的速度领先，但现在我们已经达到74%以上，在非洲大陆处于领先地位。”。

        坦桑尼亚每日新闻援引卡莱马尼博士的话说，该国共有9001个村庄实现了联网；其中3559个村庄通过正在进行的第三轮农村电气化项目（REA III-1）实现了联网。

        他进一步表示，REA III-1将于2020年6月完工，但政府已与执行该项目的承包商达成一致，同意在两个月前完成相关工作。因此，承包商预计在2020年4月31日前将项目移交给坦桑尼亚电力供应公司（Tanesco）。
        对于马萨西地区，部长说，政府决定审查行动计划，使他们能够增加将受益于该地区项目的村庄数量。
        “在最初的设计中，只有少数村庄从这个项目中受益。他解释说，这是因为其他村庄属于议会或城市的管辖范围，而不是地区，因此不符合标准，因为它们具有街道而不是村庄的地位。
        他进一步解释说，历史上从未有过一个全村通电的地区。
       “但这一次，政府做到了；全国共有34个地区实现了电力供应全覆盖，同样的精神也将在全国传播，”他说，2015年至2019年，共有11070家公共机构通电，高于过去享受电力服务的3200家。

Improved efforts to deploying rural electrification across rural Tanzania has placed the East African country in the top slot in the continent, according to Tanzania's Minister for Energy, Dr Medard Kalemani.

"Initially, Nigeria was the leading country by 72%, but we are now leading in the continent, as we have reached more than 74% now," said the minister.

Tanzania Daily News cited Dr Kalemani stating that a total of 9,001 villages in the country have been connected; of these 3,559 villages were connected through the first round of Phase Three Rural Electrification Project (REA III-1), which is ongoing.

He further said that REA III-1 will be completed in June 2020 but the government has agreed with the contractors executing the project to finish the relevant work two months earlier. As such the contractors are expected to hand over the project to Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) by 31 April 2020.

For Masasi District, the minister said the government decided to review the action plan that enabled them to increase the number of villages that will benefit from the project in that district.

"In the original design, only a few villages were to benefit from this project. This is because other villages fall under the jurisdiction of councils or cities and not districts and thus did not meet the criteria since they had the status of streets and not villages," he explained.

He further explained that it had never happened before in history to have a district that had full coverage of electricity in all villages.

"But this time, the government has made it; there are 34 districts that are fully covered with power supply, the same spirit will spread countrywide," he said, adding that a total of 11,070 public institutions had also been connected to electricity between 2015 and 2019, up from 3,200 that were enjoying the service in the past.
