“The two plants [of the project] that will generate 470 megawatts are in the final stages of completion,” the Tanzanian Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Energy, Felchesmi Mramba, said.

Construction of the NHPP is currently underway on the Rufiji River in eastern Tanzania. The government-owned Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) will own and manage the power station and dam upon completion. The project was started in 2019 and is set to be completed in 2024.
