| 3 | Alarmed by the 20% decrease (325 MW) in power production in the United Republic of Tanzania, |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Noting that power cuts result from the lack of hydroelectric power caused by prolonged period of |
| 6 | drought, |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Noting further that hydroelectric power accounts for 555.96MW of 1,695MW produced in the |
| 9 | United Republic of Tanzania per year, |
| 10 | |
| 11 | Emphasizing the United Republic of Tanzania’s current solar powered electricity sources being |
| 12 | 1.3% of total installed capacity, |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Recognizing that Tanzania receives an average of eight hours of sunlight per day and an average |
| 15 | offshore wind speed of 11.2 mph, |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The delegation of the United Republic of Tanzania does hereby: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Encourage the construction of a 300 panel photovoltaic solar farm in Zanzibar, Tanzania that |
| 20 | would generate an average of 350.4MW per year to cover the electricity deficit, |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Suggest the additional construction of a two turbine offshore wind farm in the same plot to |
| 23 | produce 6MW each year, |

| 26 | |
| 27 | Call upon the United Nations to grant the United Republic of Tanzania 3,510,000 USD for the |
| 28 | construction of the photovoltaic solar farm, the offshore wind farm, the land plot, and an additional |
| 29 | 100,000 USD per annum for maintenance and worker wages, |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Affirm that the construction of energy production plants will provide new jobs, |
| 32 | |
