Tanzania has substantially increased electricity access across the country, extending services beyond regional areas to individual communities and even sub-villages. The Ministry of Energy’s Permanent Secretary, Engineer Felchesmi Mramba, highlighted this progress, praising the efforts of the Rural Energy Agency (REA) and Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO). This expansion represents a significant step towards universal access to electricity within Tanzania. The initiative focuses on delivering power to previously underserved areas, improving quality of life and enabling economic opportunities. Details regarding the specific number of newly connected communities were not provided in the initial report. The government views this as a key achievement in its ongoing efforts to develop the nation’s energy infrastructure. Further information was published in the Daily News.
