The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (Tanesco) yesterday introduced load shedding in most parts of Dar es Salaam, following a breakdown of a 220KV circuit breaker at Kidatu Hydro Power Station, officials said. The breakdown has adversely affected Kidatu - Morogoro power line leading to low power supply into the national grid.
Officials said that the breakdown comes at the time when Tanesco requires 250 million US dollars (about 340bn/-) to rehabilitate its power supply network in Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Mwanza regions. Efforts are underway to replace the broken circuit breaker with a new one.
