Within just the first 10 minutes or so of my brief walkabout in Dar I bumped into the Ministry of Energy and Minerals. In front of the building was the first diesel generator installed in Tanzania. It had been built in Britain, was in use from 1932 to 1967, and was rated for about 80 kilowatts. By comparison, modern Tanzania's largest diesel generator is on the order of 6 megawatts (6,000 kilowatts).
