Export capacity
10 MW delivered at the interconnection point of the TANESCO sub-station from 12.5 MW installed capacity, with ~9% auxiliary consumption.
CFBC is the globally preferred choice for multi-fuel biomass power plants: fuel flexibility across moisture, size and calorific value, in-furnace emission control, and proven operation at 12.5 MW scale in India, South-East Asia and Europe.
| Criterion | CFBC (Selected) | Travelling Grate (Alternative) |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel flexibility | High — accepts a wide variety of biomass with varying moisture, size and calorific value | Moderate — requires more uniform fuel |
| Efficiency | High — 30–35% thermal efficiency | Lower — 25–30% |
| Emission performance | Excellent — in-furnace SO₂ and NOₓ control | Requires more post-combustion treatment |
| Mixed fuel operation | Proven multi-fuel capability — can blend different agricultural residues | Limited blending |
| O&M requirements | Moderate — well-established maintenance protocols | Lower complexity but lower performance |
| Market maturity | Globally proven at 12.50 MW scale in India, SE Asia, Europe | Proven at small scale |
Generation at 11 kV is stepped up through the plant switchyard to a 33 kV / 66 kV interconnection with the TANESCO Sumbawanga Substation, which is being integrated into the national 400 kV network through the TAZA transmission project (expected February 2027).
10 MW delivered at the interconnection point of the TANESCO sub-station from 12.5 MW installed capacity, with ~9% auxiliary consumption.
Designed for 80% plant load factor (industry standard 75–85%) with a covered fuel inventory of 120–150 days and a three-year specialist O&M agreement targeting ≥85% availability.
0.8–1.2 m³/MWh from a groundwater borewell with surface water as supplementary source; zero liquid discharge with full recycling.
