Construction of a 45MW from Malagarasi Hydropower Plant to Kigoma, Tanzania. The project will be located in Uvinza and Kigoma district councils. The hydropower plant is located in Igamba while the transmission line traverses Mazungwe and Kazuramimba in Kazuramimba ward, Kalenge and Mlela in Kandaga ward all in Uvinza District and Kidahwe in Kidahwe ward in Kigoma District. The power plant has been designed to yield a maximum of 44.8MW using maximum water flow of 171m³/s and deliver 186.8 GWh with a plant factor of 0.48 with 3 generators rated 15.75MW each utilizing a head of 30.5m and unit water flow of 57m³/s. The transmission line will utilize a 20m wide corridor from Malagarasi switch yard to Mazungwe and 26m wide corridor from Mazungwe to Kidahwe respectively. Two types of towers are being considered mono tubular towers or self-supported lattice steel towers.
