Electrical Energy for Rural, Small Scale and Value Creation Industrialization in Mbozi District-Songwe, Tanzania

Abstract

The study aims at investigating the impacts of steady electrical energy supply on industrialization. To reveal the nature of the relationship between the two variables i.e. steady electrical energy supply and industrial development, the study which was carried out in Mbozi district in Songwe region-Tanzania employed a survey research design. Moreover the investigation applied the strata-multistage sampling technique to derive to 101 respondents. Using documentary review and questionnaire the facts was gathered regarding the study in which processors, constructors, farmers and traders was a sample frame. Using a latent variable analysis, rotated component matrix and average variance expected data analysis tools it was revealed that steady supply electrical energy contribute positively towards industrial development. It was conclusively found that steady electrical energy supply and industrialization detailing rural industrialization, small scale industrialization and value addition was statistically significant at p>=0.05. Thus it is with these positive results what this study suggests to policy makers that the environment for sustainable electrical energy should be created for rural industrialization, small scale industrialization and value creation policies to be realized.
