TANGAZO LA SERIKALI Na.... LA TAREHE SHERIA YA UMEME (NA. 131) AGIZO (Imetolewa chini ya Kifungu Na. 23) AGIZO LA UMEME (BEI ZA MIRADI MIDOGO YA UMEME), 2016 Kichwa cha Agizo 1. Agizo hili litajulikana kama, Agizo la Umeme (Bei za Miradi Midogo ya Umeme), 2016 Kuanza Kutumika 2. Agizo hili litaanza kutumika tarehe 1 Aprili 2016. Tafsiri 3. Katika Agizo hili mpaka pale kutakapokuwa na maana tofauti, maneno yafuatayo yatakuwa na maana ifuatayo: mfumo wa ushindani ni mfumo wa kununua miradi midogo midogo ya umeme utokanao na upepo au jua kwa kiwango cha zaidi ya Megawati 1 mpaka Megawati 10 kama ambavyo umeainishwa kwenye Kanuni za Uendelezaji wa Miradi Midogo Midogo ya Umeme za Mwaka 2016 ( the Electricity (Development of Small Power Projects) Rules 2016 ); Gridi ya Taifa ina maana ya mfumo mkuu wa usafirishaji umeme Tanzania Bara kutoka vyanzo vikuu vya kuzalisha umeme mpaka kwenye mifumo ya usambazaji; Gridi Ndogo ina maana ya mfumo mwingine wa usafirishaji umeme Tanzania Bara ambao haujaunganishwa kwenye Gridi ya Taifa; na Miradi Midogo ya Umeme ina maana ya miradi midogo ya umeme yenye uwexo wa kuzalisha kati ya Kilowatt 100 mpaka Megawati 10 kwa kutumia nishati jadidifu, mafuta au machanganyiko wa nishati hizo na umeme huo unaweza kuuzwa kwa jumla kwa wasambazaji umeme au kwa wateja moja kwa moja. Mzalishaji wa umeme mdogo anawezakuwa na uwezo wa kuzalisha zaidi ya Megawti 10 lakini kiwango anachokuwa anaingiza kwenye mfumo au utaratibu wa miradi midogo midogo ya umeme hautazidi Megawati 10. Bei zilizoidhinishwa 4. (1) Bei iliyoidhinishwa kwa miradi midogo ya kufua umeme kwa kutumia maji na taka za miji na mabaki yatokanayo na kilimo na uliounganishwa katika Gridi ya Taifa na 5
Gridi Ndogo itakuwa kama iliyoainishwa katika Jedwali la Kwanza. (2) Bei ya umeme utokanao na miradi midogo ya kufua umeme kwa kutumia jua na upepo hadi kufikia Megawati moja (1MW) na uliounganishwa katika Gridi ya Taifa na Gridi Ndogo itakuwa kama iliyoainishwa katika Jedwali la Pili. (3) Bei ya umeme kwa miradi midogo ya umeme itakayoamua, kwa mujibu wa kifungu cha 39 cha Kanuni za Uendelezaji wa Miradi Midogo Midogo ya Umeme ( the Electricity (Development of Small Power Projects) Rules 2016 ), kuendelea kutumia mfumo wa kuuza umeme uliopitishwa mwaka 2008, itakuwa kama inavyoainishwa katika Jedwali la Tatu na Jedwali la Nne. (4) Bei za umeme utokanao na miradi midogo ya kufua umeme kwa zaidi ya Megawati 1 mpaka Megawati 10 kutumia jua na upepo iliyounganishwa kwenye Gridi ya Taifa na Gridi Ndogo zitapatikana wakati wa zoezi la ushindani.
