Burhani Engineers Ltd., a leading electrical engineering company in Kenya, has successfully connected 27 villages in Tanzania's Morogoro region to a new 20 MVA substation, marking a significant milestone in rural electrification efforts. The project, funded by the European Union and implemented through Tanzania's Rural Energy Agency (REA), aims to provide stable electricity to the districts of Malinyi, Ulanga, and Kilombero.
The inauguration of the substation, attended by Tanzania's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Energy, Dr. Doto Mashaka Biteko, and the European Union Ambassador Christine Grau, underscores the project's importance to the region's development. Burhani Engineers played a crucial role in supplying, commissioning, and installing the distribution lines that will deliver electricity from the substation to surrounding communities.
This electrification project is expected to have far-reaching impacts on the local economy and quality of life. Approximately 2,000 customers, including key institutions such as schools, healthcare facilities, and places of worship, now have access to reliable power. This development is particularly significant for local businesses, especially in the agricultural sector, which dominates the region's economy.
The availability of stable electricity is already transforming local industries. Rice millers, for instance, can now process their product locally, reducing costs and increasing competitiveness. This has led to a decrease in rice prices, benefiting local consumers and contributing to the region's economic sustainability. Furthermore, the improved power supply is enhancing security measures throughout the area, creating a safer environment for businesses and residents alike.
Burhani Engineers' expertise and dedication to the project were recognized during the inauguration ceremony, with the substation's Operations Manager praising the company's high-quality work and efficient handover. This acknowledgment highlights the importance of skilled engineering in implementing sustainable infrastructure projects that can significantly impact developing regions.
As Tanzania continues to prioritize rural electrification, projects like this demonstrate the potential for targeted infrastructure investments to drive economic growth and improve living standards. The success of this substation and distribution network serves as a model for future electrification efforts across Africa, emphasizing the critical role of reliable power in fostering development and empowering communities.
