Tiivistelmä
This thesis is designed to examine the current constraints on energy to a growing economy in Tanzania. The purpose of this thesis is to describe the current energy situation in Tanzania, which is hindering the growth of the economy, and to provide a solution via renewable energy. Energy, and especially electricity, is a basic necessity which businesses and the local people living in Tanzania have been deprived of due to poor infrastructure, management and lack of technology. Tanzania is among the fastest-growing economies in Africa. However, this constraint is preventing the economy from reaching its full potential. Ensuring adequate energy supply will allow businesses to be more cost efficient and enhance the growth of the economy while also tackling poverty.
This thesis identifies renewable energy as an alternative to the current method which is not viable. Therefore, during the thesis project the various different renewable energy options are researched in order to determine which are the most advisable in terms of resources and cost-efficiency to produce energy in Tanzania. For investors and stakeholders within the energy production sector this report is designed to give useful information about entering the Tanzanian market and the renewable energy choices which are optimal given the conditions available in Tanzania.
The methodologies used in the research of these Findings are that of the PESTEL which examines the market conditions. This methodology will give an accurate analysis of the current economic state of Tanzania, and as a result will indicate the optimal conditions in which to tackle the problem. The research also involves a questionnaire and answers from people with more expertise to provide a solution as they are based in the field. The overall findings will be concluded on the basis of the research and the answers from questionnaire.
