The Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO) is the wholly state-owned utility parastatal responsible for the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy throughout Tanzania. As the backbone of the nation’s infrastructure, TANESCO is tasked with the monumental mission of powering Tanzania’s industrialization and driving rural electrification. TANESCO manages a heavily diversified power generation portfolio. While historically reliant on massive hydropower dams like Mtera and Kidatu, the company has heavily expanded its natural gas power plants in Dar es Salaam and Mtwara to stabilize the national grid. They are currently overseeing the completion of the monumental Julius Nyerere Hydropower Station (JNHPP), one of the largest energy projects in Africa. To serve its millions of customers, TANESCO has deeply integrated digital technology into its operations. Their LUKU (Lipa Umeme Kadiri Utumiavyo) pre-paid metering system allows citizens to seamlessly purchase electricity tokens via mobile money platforms at any time of day, dramatically improving revenue collection and customer convenience.
