What generators are hired for in Mtwara
Industrial and energy projects
Construction and maintenance work on industrial plants and the energy sector in the south, where temporary power runs for weeks or months.
Cashew processing
Cashew processing in Mtwara and Lindi runs hard through the season, and a standby set keeps the line moving through outages.
Port and construction
Port-side operations and building projects in Mtwara town that need site power before a grid connection.
Delivery to sites in and around Mtwara
Roughly 550 km by road from Dar es Salaam, the main route south

Large sets need truck access and space for lifting on site
300 to 2,500 kVA
Generators are sized on the total running load and on the largest motor and how it starts. The calculator below gives a figure for your own loads.
| Size | Typically powers | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| 300 to 500 kVA | Alluvial wash plants, small ball mill circuits, construction sites, hotels, offices and hospitals on standby | Covers most small gravity and wash plants, with headroom for motor starting when the largest motor has a soft starter. |
| 500 to 1,000 kVA | Crushing and milling circuits, larger processing plants, factories, large construction and road projects | Sized on the largest motor and how it starts as much as on the total load. |
| 1,000 to 2,500 kVA | Full processing plants, mine site power, industrial facilities, temporary power during grid works | Often supplied as two or more sets running synchronised, so one can be serviced while the others carry the load. |
