Power has been restored in Tanzania after a massive nationwide blackout that affected several islands and most of the mainland on Monday. | |
The electricity outage struck shortly after 02:00 local time on Monday, privately owned newspaper Daily Citizen reported. | |
State-run power company Tanesco said the outage was caused by a technical fault at the Kidatu hydroelectric power plant in the east of the country. | |
Its water intake control equipment was affected. | |
The fault resulted in large volumes of water entering the systems, causing them to "suddenly shut down to protect themselves", and in turn impacting the national power grid, Tanesco added. | |
Energy Minister Doto Mashaka Biteko ordered power officials who were on their Easter break to return to work immediately in order to restore power supplies. | |
On Monday evening, Tanesco said it had restored power to most parts of the country, although several Tanzanians continued to complain of outages on social media. | |
