Tanzania plans to expand its electricity generation capacity to 8,000 megawatts within the next five years, according to President Samia Suluhu Hassan. The leader told parliamentarians in Dodoma that the nation previously grew its power output from 1,600 megawatts to more than 4,000 megawatts, enabling electrification infrastructure to reach every village across the country.
The government intends to utilize various energy sources including hydropower, solar, natural gas, geothermal, wind, and nuclear capabilities, to achieve reliable and sustainable electricity production. Under the Strong Grid Plan, authorities continue developing major transmission infrastructure and expanding substations to serve industrial, commercial, and residential users.
Officials aim to connect all regions to the National Grid and extend service to every sub-village throughout Tanzania. The expansion effort supports growing economic activity and rising energy requirements across the East African nation.
