The government recently launched a 10-year initiative aiming to diversify its power generation sources to include more natural gas and introduce coal. Concerns about the climate are legitimate, but to raise its citizens out of poverty, the energy roadmap has prioritised raising per capita income in Tanzania from $640 to at least $3,000. Critics say the government has mostly failed to tap the country’s other renewable energy potential to help bridge the power gap.<o:p></o:p></p></div><h3><a href="http://www.hedon.info/article3056">IDB launches new Energy Innovation Centre website and interactive database </a><o:p></o:p></h3><p>Published: Wed 06 of Aug., 2014 10:16 GMT<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>The Inter-American Bank (IDB) has just launched its new Energy Innovation Center website featuring an interactive energy database, nicknamed "the Database for the 21st Century."<o:p></o:p></p></div><h3><a href="http://www.hedon.info/article3055">The Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund announces third round of the REACT funding window</a><o:p></o:p></h3><p>Published: Wed 06 of Aug., 2014 10:10 GMT<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>The AECF Renewable Energy and Adaptation to Climate Technologies (REACT) window is a special fund of the AECF that is open to business ideas based on low cost clean energy and solutions (technologies, products, services) that can help rural people adapt to climate change.<br><br>REACT provides patient risk capital (grants, interest free loans) to businesses with potentially transformative climate change solutions and which seek to make a profit, go to scale and to have a deep social impact.
