Background
Maturi power station was a proposed 200 MW coal plant in Maturi listed in Table 1 of the African Affairs journal article "Competing energy narratives in Tanzania: Towards the political economy of coal" by Thabit Jacob. According to a note attached to the table, the information was based on "field visits and interviews with government officials in March–August 2016." The table states that Maturi had coal reserves of 50 million tonnes. The project was sponsored by Off Routes, a Tanzanian-UK company.[1] There appears to be no other online reference to this project.
There have been no further development updates and the project is presumed to be shelved or cancelled.
