Corporation Profile
Background and History
The development of the electricity sector in Zanzibar started in the beginning of the 20th century. In the year 1908, coal-fired generators were first installed to provide electricity in Unguja Island. In 1954 the coal technology was abandoned and diesel generators introduced and used until 1980, when Unguja Island was connected to the Tanzania National Grid, through a 132kV 45MW sub-marine cable, which is still in use to date.
Public electricity supply in Pemba Island was installed in 1958, with the commissioning of the Tibirinzi power station. Over the years additional small generating units were installed by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, in response to the growing demand. In 1985, the Government commissioned Wesha power station to replace Tibirinzi power station, with three diesel generators sets of 1.5MW.
