Links to articles about Stiegler's Gorge Dam

OECD Summary: Stiegler’s Gorge has become unnecessary, and would be a significant economic burden for Tanzania. The country now has a chance to accelerate its industrialization and improve standards of living by bringing more generation capacity online much earlier, and at lower costs than previously thought. In combination with existing gas and hydropower resources, solar in particular can provide reliable baseload power, much less exposed to hydrological uncertainty.

7A - URTanzania - Selous 20180131.pdf
(866 KB)


A large-scale hydropower dam planned for Selous Game Reserve World Heritage site puts protected areas of global importance - as well as the livelihoods of over 200,000 people who depend upon the environment - at risk, reveals independent research commissioned by WWF.

The research says that the dam would have direct impacts on the UNESCO site’s core environmental value and tourism. It reveals that the knock-on effects of the dam in Stiegler’s Gorge, in the heart of the Selous Game Reserve, also risk damaging a wetland of international importance: the Rufiji-Mafia-Kilwa Marine Ramsar Site. The potential impacts on this site would directly affect communities that depend on fishing, and other livelihoods connected to it.
