The Tanzania Electricity Supply Company (Tanesco) yesterday announced a week long power rationing countrywide to allow the testing of the new 542-kilometre long gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam.
Tanesco Director General Felchism Mramba told journalists who toured the Kinyerezi I power plant yesterday that the gas plant generating power from Songosongo will be switched off to allow the testing of the new gas pipeline from Mtwara.
He however assured Tanzanians that they should expect reliable power thereafter, when Tanesco starts generating power from the Mtwara gas.
Mramba said gas from Mtwara has started being infused at the Kinyerezi I and Ubungo II power plants and technicians are now testing the Ubungo II power plant.
“We are going to switch off all Songosongo gas plants tomorrow (today) so as to start connecting the gas pipeline from Mtwara and we will run trials for a week,” he announced.
