TANESCO’S Ruvuma Regional Office Has Launched A Groundbreaking Loan Program To Provide Electric Stoves To New Customers, Accelerating Tanzania’s Shift Toward Clean Cooking Energy. The Initiative Aligns With President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s National Goal Of Ensuring Every Tanzanian Adopts Clean Energy For Household Use. Repayments Will Be Seamlessly Integrated Into The Existing LUKU Prepaid Electricity Payment System.
Unveiled During The "Connect Electricity And Cook With Electricity" Campaign In Majengo Ward, Songea Municipality (October 17, 2025), The Program Was Detailed By TANESCO Customer Service Assistant Emma Ulendo. She Emphasized That The Scheme Is A Key Government Strategy To Improve Citizens’ Lives Through Affordable, Sustainable Energy.
- Cost Savings: Cooking Drastically Reduces Expenses. One Unit Of Electricity (292 TZS) Powers A Full Day Of Cooking, While Charcoal Costs Exceed 1,000 TZS Daily.
- Health & Environment Benefits: Residents Report Electric Stoves Are Faster, Safer, And Eliminate Harmful Smoke Linked To Respiratory Diseases And Deforestation.
- Accessibility: Loans Target Newly Connected Households, With Repayments Automated Via LUKU Meters.
Local Beneficiaries In Majengo Ward Praised TANESCO, Noting The Stoves Save Time, Money, And Protect Health. "Electricity Isn’t Just Cheaper—It’s Cleaner And Safer For Our Families And Forests," One Resident Stated.
This Initiative Marks A Significant Step In Tanzania’s Clean Energy Transition, With TANESCO Poised To Expand Similar Programs Nationwide.
