Elsewedy Electric project of Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station is a hydroelectric dam under construction across the Rufiji River in eastern Tanzania. Although controversial, the government approved the plans in 2018. The power station is expected to have an installed capacity of 2,115 megawatts and to produce 5,920 GWh of power annually, serving approximately 60 million Tanzanians. Located across the Rufiji River in Stigler’s George, in the Selous Game Reserve, it is, aside from generating electric power for its prime purpose, a control gate for deadly floods that occasionally result in major losses in lives and goods with a severe impact on the national economy. The project meets most of the UN 17 sustainability goals as it manages a wisely precious resource, creates thousands of jobs, bridges an energy gap, stimulates the economy, and opens wide gates for investors to penetrate Tanzania. The reservoir will offer controlled fishing with the introduction of marine inhabitants such as hippos and crocodiles, as well as exciting tourist attractions in water sports, fishing, and sailing. Annually, it generates 6,307 GWh , enough to supply 16.6 million households. Generating 2,115 MW of renewable energy. Saves up to 400 hectares of trees annually.
