Tanzania, Dodoma: MSC has shipped 30 transformers to Julius Nyerere Hydro Electric Power Plant project Tanzania from Mundra Port, India.

MSC Africa has recently shipped 30 transformers to Julius Nyerere Hydro Electric Power Plant project in Tanzania from Mundra Port, India. The project, which is nestled along the Rufiji River in Stiegler’s Gorge, Morogoro Region, southwest of Dar es Salaam, intends to generate a robust electricity supply of 2115 MW, as well as water capacity for 17 million families. Additionally, the dam controls the waterflow to prevent flooding and swamping.

“At MSC, we are confident that our involvement in Tanzania’s energy sector will catalyse future breakthroughs. Our recent shipment to Dar es Salaam exemplifies our steadfast commitment to fuelling growth and success throughout the continent,” said Noel Quiambao, Managing Director at MSC Tanzania.

Tanzania’s efforts to combat electricity shortages and drive industrialization through hydro power plant projects underscore the nation’s commitment to sustainable industrialization and the transition to renewable energy sources. To date, MSC has successfully transported multiple loads of transformers, collectively weighing 750 MT, to Dar es Salaam. These transformers, rated at 175 MV and 220/132/11 KV – 3PH, PT Tanesco, play an important role in Tanzania’s mission to develop five hydro power plant projects. These initiatives also seek to fortify industrialization and promote the adoption of renewable energy—a truly inspiring narrative in the making. Once the project is finalized, the transmission voltage will be increased from 14 kV to a 400 kV, marking a leap in capacity to 2,100 MW, with an annual production of 5.9 GWh.
