Tanzania building grid interconnector with Zambia to help mitigate power crisis

Tanzania is building a grid interconnector with Zambia to help assist in mitigating a drought-driven power crisis, Tanzania's deputy prime minister said at the Singapore International Energy Week conference on Monday. "We have some interconnectors with our neighbours, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya and now we are pulling up an interconnector with Zambia, which will help us to assist our neighbour in Zambia who is facing a deadly drought," said Doto Biteko, who is also the energy minister.
