It is likely that it will be cheap since the demand is low.
Cheap electricity can be a major factor to consider when deciding to set up a mining operation. But aside from electricity, there are other factors to consider, which, if not considered, can put the entire mining process in jeopardy. An example of this factor is security, and on this basis, Tanzania's crime rate is on the rise.
Although generally considered safer than many other African countries, crime rates in Tanzania are unfortunately on the rise, especially in Dar es Salaam. Expats should rent a house or apartment in a gated compound with 24-hour security guards and an alarm system, as robberies are common. Pickpocketing and theft is a frequent problem on public transportation and in city centers. The number of violent crimes and homicides has also been increasing.
