Question

Assess the economic impact of primary energy deficiency on power sector

Answer 1

hello dear

Energy is an essential and dominant component in achieving the interrelated economic and sustainable development of any country. Global energy demand is increasing at an exponential rate as a result of the exponential growth of world population [1]. Increases in global energy demand combined with fossil fuel depletion and the concern over environmental degradation put renewable energy sources as future energy supply [2, 3]. The energy consumption status of Tanzania is dominated by biomass which accounts for approximately 90% of total primary energy supply [4, 5]. Renewable energy sources available are biomass, hydro, geothermal, biogas, wind, and solar [6–8]. Geothermal potential is approximated at 650 MW with resource assessment still under preliminary surface studies [7, 9, 10]. Biomass estimated energy potential was at 12 million TOE in 2010 mainly from agriculture wastes, plantation forests, and natural forests [11]. Hydropower potential of Tanzania is estimated at 4700 MW of which only 553 MW has been realized at macro level and 12.8 MW at micro level generations [9]. Tanzania experiences between 2800 and 3500 sunshine hours per annum with solar irradiation between average values of 4 and  per day across the country [7, 12, 13]. Proven wind potential of 200 MW has been identified so far in Singida with studies going on in other areas of the country
