Mchuchuma in south western Tanzania near Ludewa off the northern tip of Lake Nyasa, is the site of major coal deposits.[1] There is also a thermal power station costing$612m.[2] Recent studies indicate that Mchuchuma/Ketewaka[3] coal deposits should be connected to the coast by rail to facilitate exports.[4][5] The railway that will be built will be part of the Mtwara Development Corridor project.
