Many parts of Tanzania are likely to experience power cuts because of a system error, the East African nation's state power firm Tanesco has warned.
An error in a gas-fired power plant has resulted in a loss of 268 megawatts to the transmission system, it said.
“Efforts to fix the problem are ongoing and we will notify our customers every four hours as the power availability improves," the statement said.
Tanzania’s power generation capacity stood at 1,500 megawatts from various sources in 2021.
The loss will lead to lack of electricity at different times across the country.
