Abstract
Currently, renewable energy development is emphasized for sustainable development goals accomplishment and the better realization of sustainable development globally. Tanzania, like other developing countries, is striving to adopt different ways of ensuring affordable and accessible energy supply to its socioeconomic and political sectors to achieve renewable energy development. To secure affordable and accessible energy in the country, renewable energy is termed as an alternative energy source because of it is environmentally friendly. If renewable energy is produced and utilized in a modern and sustainable manner, it will help to eliminate energy problems in Tanzania. Thus, this study aims to review the current potential renewable energy for the achievement of sustainable development in Tanzania. Moreover, challenges of renewable energy development are examined.
Highlights
Energy security is a socio-economic and political factor that contributes to sustainable development (SD) in any nation [1]
According to the Energy Watch Group, a global electricity system that relies on renewable energy is possible at every hour throughout the year and is most cost-effective compared to nuclear power and fossil fuels present [6]
This study examined some of the challenges below: 5.1
Summary
Energy security is a socio-economic and political factor that contributes to sustainable development (SD) in any nation [1]. Investment in spotless and renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, biomass, wind, and thermal power is an approach towards achieving universal access to cheap and affordable electricity by 2030 [27]. To achieve this and reduce global electricity consumption in industries and homes by 14%, there is the need for the adoption of cost-effective standards for a broad range of technologies. Expansion and upgrading of energy infrastructure and technologies and enhancement of the supply of contemporary and viable energy services to all communities in emerging nations This goal is structured into three main areas, namely, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and energy access. This study is based on renewable energy in connection with energy access, efficiency, and security towards sustainable development in Tanzania
