Evaluation of Norwegian Assistance to the Energy Sector of SADCC Countries - Project Profile 5 - Norwegian Co-financing of the World Bank´s Power Rehabilitation Project Tanzania

On June 25th 1986, Tanzania and the World Bank/IDA signed an agreement on a Power Sector Rehabilitation Project totalling US $ 88.6 mill., including co-financing from several bilateral donors. The background of the project was a widespread agreement that there were pervasive signs of age, overloading, corrosion and lack of maintenance (primarily due to lack of spare parts) throughout the TANESCO interconnected system as well as in the isolated diesel and gas operated stations.
