Tanzania - Electricity IV Project

The Electricity IV Project will enhance the power's supply to the kilimandjaro and Arusha regions where more rapid developments are evident in Industrial and Commercial Activies; as well as in the production of Agricultural Commodities such as coffee, cotton, sugarcane and sisal. The project will also facilitate the possible interconnection of the Tanzania and Kenyan Electricity Supply Systems.
