坦桑尼亚正面临能源问题,由于商业能源的供应在未来一段时间内仍将受到限制,主要是由于技术和经济原因,具有成本效益的可再生能源技术被认为是改善能源服务的一种选择。太阳能光伏发电(PV)被政府视为提供基本电力的潜在可再生能源之一。坦桑尼亚的太阳能光电发展是不可持续的,因为它主要是由捐助者/非政府组织驱动的。对太阳能光伏技术开发的大量投资并没有对坦桑尼亚农村电气化水平产生重大影响,农村电气化水平约为1%。利用太阳能光电效应的主要障碍是太阳能光电效应系统成本高、购买力低以及光电效应技术在为企业活动提供动力方面的应用有限。建议采用可再生能源战略,重点是各种技术,主要目标是为创收活动提供动力。
Abstract Tanzania is facing energy problems and since the provision of commercial energy will remain limited for some time to come, largely for technical and economic reasons, cost effective renewable energy technologies (RETs) are considered as an option for improving the access to energy services. Solar photovoltaic (PV) is regarded by the government as one of the potential RETs for providing basic electricity. Solar PV development in Tanzania is not sustainable because it is mainly donor/non-governmental organization driven. Substantial amounts of investment in solar PV technology development have not produced significant impact on the level of rural electrification in Tanzania, which is roughly 1%. The major barriers to the utilization of solar PV are the high cost of solar PV systems, low purchasing power, and limited application of PV technology for powering enterprising activities. Renewable energy strategy that is focused on a diverse set of technologies with a major objective of powering income-generating activities is recommended.
