Abstract
The primary objective of this study was to provide a basis for evaluation of possibilities to increase electricity generation at a Tanganyika Planting Company (TPC) steam power plant using data on actual performance. Data has been collected and evaluated to show what fuel savings are possible with the same weekly production and without any further investment. Calculations on the amount of fuel saved indicate how much electricity can be generated with this additional fuel. Another objective was to find out what the technical possibilities are for TPC to reduce its dependence on Tanzania Electricity Supply Company (TANESCO) if investment is made in a new steam supply system and a new turbine generator set. If further investment is made, it should be in a new boiler and a new extraction turbine. This new system would be able to generate more than four times as much electricity as the present system. The new process requires a higher mass flow of bagasse, that is, the crushing rate of cane must be increased. There are several issues that have to be considered before the investments are made. One question is whether the total amount of cane is sufficient and another is how to bring

With the crushing rate used today, the factory is shut down 8% of the time because of lack of cane.
