Tanga. Energy Minister Deogratias Ndejembi has directed the contractor rehabilitating the Hale Hydropower Station in Tanga Region to complete works by July 31 and not seek any further extension.
He said timely completion will restore the plant’s 21MW capacity, strengthen the national grid, and ease rising electricity demand in northern regions.
Mr Ndejembi issued the directives during an inspection, noting that the station, commissioned after independence, once produced 21MW when national demand stood at about 36MW.
