Unguja. Power rationing remains a major challenge in Zanzibar, particularly on Unguja Island, despite the Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (Zeco) entering into several agreements aimed at stabilising supply.
Currently, Zanzibar receives electricity through the National Grid from Mainland Tanzania via 132 kilovolt (kV) lines to Unguja and 33kV lines to Pemba.
