The Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO) is the primary electric utility in Tanzania, responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity across the country. Established in 1931 as a private entity and later fully nationalized by the government, TANESCO operates under the Ministry of Energy. The company holds a near-monopoly on the country’s power sector, serving millions of domestic, commercial, and industrial customers. In recent years, TANESCO has shifted its focus toward diversifying Tanzania’s energy mix to ensure a more reliable power supply. While the country historically relied heavily on hydropower, which is vulnerable to recurring droughts, the utility has increasingly integrated natural gas and solar energy into the national grid. The completion of major infrastructure projects, such as the Julius Nyerere Hydropower Plant, highlights the company’s commitment to boosting generation capacity and driving industrialization. Despite these advancements, TANESCO faces ongoing challenges, including infrastructure aging, power outages, and financial sustainability issues. To combat these hurdles, the utility is modernizing its operations through smart grid technologies and expanding pre-paid metering systems. Through these reforms, TANESCO aims to bridge the rural-urban energy divide and support Tanzania’s economic growth.
