Situation analysis and framework conditions
Energy situation especially in rural areas
Wood fuel still is the most important energy used in Tanzania, accounting for over 90 percent of total energy consumption. Due to lacking programmes promoting the sustainable supply of wood fuel, availability of biomass resources declined crucially. So far, less than 1 percent of Tanzania's population has access to electricity.
Energy demand and supply in the household sector
Rural electricity supply
Institutional set up and actors in the energy sector
Public institutions
Public sector is organised via the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, the Zanzibar Department of Energy and teh Commission for Science and Technology in Tanzania.
ProBEC works with a variety of private organisation in order to disseminate the supported technologies: Uniliver Tea Company, Mufindi Tea Company, Kibena Tea Company, Tanzania Wattle Company LTD, Association of Tanzania Tobacco Traders (ATTT, Tabora), West Usambara Women Education, Marangu community Development Association, VICOBA Sustainable Development Agency (Songea), Individual farmers in Iringa (Tabora), Envotec Services Ltd., M&R Appropriate Technology Engineering and Green Ceramic Products and Environment.
