Kilwa Thermal Power Station, is a planned 318 megawatts, liquefied natural gas-fired thermal power station in Tanzania.[1]
Location[edit]
The power station would be located in the coastal city of Kilwa, in the Lindi Region, in the southeastern part of the country, approximately 325 kilometres (202 mi), by road, south of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city and financial capital.[2]
Overview[edit]
The power station would be owned and operated by Tanzania National Electricity Supply Company, the national parastatal electricity generator, transmitter and distributor. The new power plant is expected to add 318 megawatts to the national generating capacity of 1500 megawatts, as of July 2018.[3]
