Dar es Salaam. The ongoing electricity sale talks between Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) and Kanona Power Limited, a Zambian-Tanzanian consortium are crucial for Tanzania’s economic growth, according to analysts.
Experts told The Citizen that electricity is lucrative business and Tanzania must capitalise on its surplus power by securing profitable export deals. With the 2,115-megawatt Julius Nyerere Hydropower Project (JNHPP) operational, Tanzania now produces more electricity than it needs, making export a viable revenue source.
