DAR ES SALAAM, June 4 (Xinhua) The World Bank has approved 142 million U.S. dollars of financing for Tanzania s Zanzibar Energy Sector Transformation and Access project (ZESTA), a statement said Friday.
The statement issued by the World Bank office in Dar es Salaam said the project was intended to benefit nearly 400,000 Zanzibaris by having access to new or improved electricity services.
According to the statement, Zanzibar will also experience a reduction in annual unplanned system outages and associated losses after completion of the project.
