Bitcoin safari community on Nostr: The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) has announced improvements to the ...
The Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO) has announced improvements to the 220kV Power Receiving, Voltage Control, and Distribution Substation at Ubungo in Dar es Salaam from Saturday, February 22 to February 28, 2025. During this period, some areas of Zanzibar and the Dar es Salaam and Pwani regions will experience power outages at different times.
In a statement released on February 19, 2025, TANESCO said, "This step is crucial for the Company in improving service delivery to its customers due to the increasing demand for electricity in Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam and Pwani regions. This has overwhelmed the Substation, prompting the installation of a new transformer with a 300 MVA capacity to meet electricity needs in these areas."
"During this period when power will be intermittently unavailable, the company will also be carrying out various maintenance works on the power infrastructure in the mentioned areas to ensure the systems remain in good condition, especially as we approach the rainy season."
"The company apologizes for any inconvenience during this period of service interruptions and will continue to provide updates until the work is completed."
TANESCO has announced a necessary upgrade and repair to the electrical infrastructure in the Dar es Salaam and Pwani regions, including Zanzibar. This is to handle the increased demand for electricity. The service interruptions, although inconvenient, are part of a larger effort to ensure more reliable and sufficient energy supply.
Bitcoin’s blockchain technology can play a role in enhancing efficiency and transparency within the energy sector in Tanzania. By integrating Bitcoin’s blockchain system, TANESCO could potentially track energy usage, prevent fraud, and increase accountability in energy transactions. The transparency of blockchain would help in ensuring that the supply chain of electricity, from production to distribution, is clearly monitored and that there is no mismanagement or illegal activities.
Additionally, using Bitcoin or other digital assets could help in improving payments within the energy sector. Customers could pay for energy bills using Bitcoin, and this method would be faster and potentially lower-cost, especially considering the global nature of cryptocurrency. The use of blockchain technology also offers a decentralized method to monitor and fix inefficiencies, which could lead to better operational management, reducing the need for frequent infrastructure upgrades.
