ELECTRIFYING SOUTHERN TANZANIAThe southern region of Tanzania is rich in oil and gas deposits. Natural gas discoveries have catalyzed a variety of new investments and spurred significant population growth in the region. And yet, in spite of these developments, access to electricity in southern Tanzania remains extremely low at less than 4%.

The U.S. Government’s Power Africa initiative addresses chronic power shortages in countries like Tanzania. As part of this initiative, Symbion Power’s southern electrification project will expand power access in one of Tanzania’s most critically underserved regions.

“ Symbion aims to be at the forefront of President Obama’s Power Africa initiative which will double access to power across sub-Saharan Africa.” Paul Hinks, CEO Symbion Power

Project DescriptionSymbion’s southern electrification project will develop a power generation and transmission solu-tion for southern Tanzania in a Public and Private Partnership (“PPP”) with the Tanzania Electric Supply Company. This project will support the gov-ernment’s development plans to help alleviate pov-erty, expand access to reliable power and increase employment in the region. Additionally, the project will support government priorities and objectives to develop key economic sectors and increase the country’s generation and transmission capacity using alternative and inexpensive energy resources.

The Symbion Power southern electrification project will utilize fuel-effective and emission- reduced gas turbine technology and supercon-ductors on transmission lines making it both an innovative and unique project. Using these latest technologies will ensure efficient production of electricity and effective movement of power across the system in the country.

Goals, Benefits, Compliance• Cost-effective method of service delivery will

provide power access to a large number of unconnected citizens

• Electricity access will stimulate social and regional economic growth

• Ensure constant supply of electricity to hospitals and reliable infrastructure for small scale industries

• Compliance with PPP Act 2010 and PPP Regulation 2011

FinancingFinancing of the project will require many elements to ensure cost effective generation and transmission of power. The debt/equity structure, grants and soft loans will all be considered during the finance period of the Project.
