Gov’t to phase out oil fired generators by 2013

The State Minister in charge of Energy and Water, Eng. Coletha Ruhamya, said that the government will cease to use oil powered generators come 2013. “We are still using the generators because plants which rely on cheaper sources of energy to meet demand such as hydro, methane are under development, while other sources, like geothermal and peat, are still on the exploration phase,” she stressed.
