THE Vice-President Dr Mohamed Gharib Bilal earlier last week urged geo scientists in Tanzania to devise strategies to ensure effective exploitation of geo-thermal energy to help solve a rapidly expanding power crisis and speed up socio economic development.
Dr Bilal who was opening the Third Young Earth Scientists Congress in Dar es Salaam noted that the country was endowed with 4000mw geo-thermal potential which is more than double the present 1,583mw produced by the Tanzania Electric Supply Company and independent producers from hydro and thermal plants.
