Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>MINISTER for Energy, Dr Medard Kalemani, has directed Tanesco to install two transformers, with 4.5MW to newly introduced Busolwa Mine in Misungwi District by the end of this month.<\/p>\n

He said the directive was part of the government\u2019s plan to ensure all mining sites were supplied with power.<\/p>\n

He issued the directive mid-this week during his tour of the mine, directing Tanesco regional manager Felix Olang to meet the deadline to help reduce mining operational costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been told that mine operators spend about 1.8bn\/- per month on purchasing fuel to run their generators. The government does whatever is within its reach to create a conducive investment environment everywhere. Availability of reliable and affordable power services is part of that,\u201d said Dr Kalemani.<\/p>\n

The minister noted further that in 2019 the government had supplied 82 small-scale mining sites with electricity, adding that between 2015 and 2020 at least 138 mines were connected to power.<\/p>\n

\u201cI insist that both small and large-scale mines wil be reached as the government values the mining sector\u2019s contribution to country\u2019s economy. We should, therefore, help them reduce unnecessary operational costs. We are happy that almost all raw materials are locally-produced to facilitate electrification,\u201d stressed the minister.<\/p>\n

He also directed Tanesco to know all mines in need of power services and serve them accordingly.<\/p>\n

Managing Director of Busolwa Mine Baraka Ezekiel said mining operations were set to take off next month, with at least 300 direct employment opportunities created.<\/p>\n

He admitted to have been spending a lot of money on generators\u2019 fuel (1.8bn\/-) in ongoing mining preparations. \u201cWe are thankful that the government cares its investors. The two transformers will at a large extent smoothen our operations here. Full operations will take off this month,\u201d said the director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
