Tanzania: Mwenga wind nears completion

The 2.4MW Mwenga wind farm is nearing completion after receiving a $1.2m loan from the UK-funded Renewable Energy Performance Platform (REPP). REPP investment manager Camco Clean Energy said three turbines had arrived at the project site in Mwenga in the Mufindi district of Iringa region and installation and testing were expected to be completed by early May. Once operational, the wind farm will supply a private rural grid network developed and operated by Rift Valley Energy Group.
