The Suma 3,8 MW Hydro & Rural Electrification Project, currently under construction, is a joint venture between Rift Valley Energy, TATEPA and AgDevCo. It will be a run-of-river hydro power plant enabling the neighbouring tea industry to reduce reliance on costly and polluting back-up diesel generators. The main off-taker will be Tanzania’s National Utility with an opportunity to directly connect clusters of local rural housing and small businesses to the national grid main line.
