VACANCIES ANNOUNCEMENT

On behalf of Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO); Public Service

Recruitment Secretariat (PSRS) invites dynamic and suitably qualified Tanzanians to
fill 569 vacant posts.

1.0 TANZANIA ELECTRIC SUPPLY COMPANY(TANESCO)

Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (TANESCO) is a Parastatal organization
established by Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated in 26th November
1931 which established Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited (the then
Tanganyika Electric Supply Company Limited -TANESCO). The Company generates
purchases, transmits, distributes and sells electricity to Tanzania Mainland and sells
bulk power to the Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (ZECO), which in turn sells it to the
Public in islands of Unguja and Pemba. TANESCO owns most of the electricity
generating, transmitting and distributing facilities in Tanzania Mainland with estimated
population of 50 million.
Historically, the German colonialists established the first public electricity supply in
Tanzania, the then called Tanganyika in 1908 at Dar es Salaam. It served the railway
workshops and a part of the town where the colonialists were mostly staying. In 1920,
when Tanganyika territory was put under Great Britain protectorate, a Government
Electricity Department was formed to take over and operate the public supplies left by
the Germans. In 1931, the Government handed over the undertaking at Dar es Salaam
and those elsewhere upcountry (Dodoma, Tabora and Kigoma) to private enterprises.
One of these companies was the Tanganyika Electric Supply Company Ltd.
(TANESCO) and the other Company was the Dar es Salaam and District Electric
Supply Company Ltd (DARESCO). The two companies were merged in 1964 and later
changed its name into Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO).

Tanzania Development Vision 2025 envisages to make the Country the middle income
by 2025, this implies that GDP per Capita will be raised from USD 640 to at least USD
3,000 by 2025. To achieve this target, we need fast economic growth which must be
propelled by adequate, reliable, affordable and environmental friendly electricity supply.
Therefore Generation capacity need to be increased from 1,583 MW to at least 10,000
MW by 2025. Also Increase electricity connection levels from 24% recorded in 2014 to
at least 50% and access levels from 36% to at least 75% by 2025. In view of the above
vision, the Government, through various directives, has directed TANESCO to review its
corporate structure to enable realization of the vision 2025 goals.

In undertaking its core functions TANESCO is guided by National Energy Policy of 2003
and Electricity act of 2008. TANESCO Ltd functions under regulatory guidance of
Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) established by the EWURA
Act of 2001. In complying with the above directives, the Company has come up with
structure that reduces operational costs without compromising performance and
efficiency. It has also considered the National Agenda for Industrialization that aims at
transforming Tanzania’s economy into middle income.
