Tanzania opens new dam to help power issues

BBC World Service - World Business Report, Tanzania opens new dam to help power issues

East Africa's largest Hydroelectric dam opens in an effort to solve power issues.

The new Julius Nyerere Hydropower dam comes on stream today in an effort to solve East African power issues.

Officials from Egypt and Tanzania are inaugurating the new Julius Nyerere Hydropower dam. The dam has a capacity of 2,115 MW and is set to become the largest in East Africa, and Africa’s fourth largest. It was built at a cost of US$3 Billion. The inauguration will see the first filling of the dam along the Rufiji River. 

Elsewhere Germany - Europe’s largest economy - is burning more coal than it has done for a while. It now generates more than a third of its electricity from coal-fired power plants.

Plus El Gordo gets underway in Spain. It's the world's biggest lottery - with the equivalent of almost 2 and a half billion dollars up for grabs.
