Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Egypt’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Immigration, and Egyptians Abroad, recently visited the Julius Nyerere Hydroelectric Power Project (JNHPP) in Rufiji, Coast Region, to see firsthand the progress of the landmark project.
Accompanied by Tanzania’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dennis Londo, and Deputy Minister of Energy, Judith Kapinga, Abdelatty was given an update on the nearly finished dam by Engineer Ehsan Hanafy, the Project Planning Manager.
Hanafy shared exciting news about the project’s progress, revealing that construction is now 99.9% complete. Eight out of the planned nine turbines are already operational, with the final one going through its last testing phase. The project is set to officially hand over the completed work on March 27, 2025.
During his visit, Abdelatty described the project as a powerful symbol of the strong and enduring partnership between Tanzania and Egypt. He emphasized that both nations should continue to build on this collaboration to drive forward large-scale development projects that can benefit their people. The Julius Nyerere Dam, once fully operational, will help meet Tanzania’s growing energy needs, contributing significantly to the national power grid and fostering sustainable development.

Abdelatty also took a moment to recognize the Tanzanian government for its leadership in bringing this ambitious project to life. He expressed his admiration for President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s commitment to seeing such projects succeed. In a show of support, Abdelatty shared that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is looking forward to attending the project’s official inauguration, which will take place at a later date.
The Julius Nyerere Hydroelectric Power Project stands as a testament to the power of international collaboration and is expected to have a lasting positive impact on both countries’ energy sectors. As the project nears its completion, it’s clear that this shared effort between Tanzania and Egypt is paving the way for greater development and cooperation in the future.
