| Authorities in Tanzania have shut down five hydroelectric stations in a bid to reduce excess electricity in the national grid, the country's prime minister has said. | |
| Kassim Majaliwa said the main plant, Mwalimu Nyerere Hydroelectric Station, has alone generated enough electricity to power major cities, including Dar es Salaam, the country’s commercial hub. | |
| "We have turned off all these stations because the demand is low and the electricity production is too much, we have no allocation now, “ an official from state-run power company, Tanesco, said. | |
| The 2,115 MW Julius Nyerere hydropower dam is said to be almost full with water, following heavy rains that started early this year. | |
| A current spell of extreme weather has caused at least 58 deaths in Tanzania and devastated other East African nations like Kenya. | |
| It is the first time Tanzania, which suffers chronic power shortages, has closed hydroelectric stations due to excess production. | |
