BRIEFING NOTE SERIES: TOWARDS A THRIVING ECOOK MARKET IN TANZANIA : Opportunities for TANESCO: How Utilities Benefit from eCooking

TANESCO (Tanzania Electric Supply Company) is the government-owned power utility in Tanzania, and is responsible for generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity. This briefing note explains the opportunity TANESCO has to take an integrated electricity access and modern energy cooking approach. TANESCO can increase its revenue and the demand for surplus electricity in the future by promoting and accelerating customers’ transition to electric cooking (eCooking) on energy efficient appliances. At the same time this would affect the health and wellbeing of their customers, mitigate carbon emissions, and protect the local environment from deforestation. TANESCO’s planning processes can encourage grid-connected customers to efficiently use electricity for cooking at affordable costs. This is a win-win scenario where the financial sustainability of the utility, and the wellbeing of customers and the environment can all be positively affected through a strategic approach to integrate electricity access and modern energy cooking, as is being pursued in neighbouring Uganda and Kenya. We recommend a pilot of energy efficient cooking appliances to pursue this objective and can offer support in this endeavour.
