The African Energy Commission and Tanzania’s Energy Ministry assessed electricity distribution losses in Dodoma from 12 to 16 October. More than 60 engineers and technicians took part.

Teams collected technical and operational data for loss-reduction action plans. TANESCO put recent transmission and distribution losses at approximately 14–15%; the exercise does not report newly achieved savings.
