The SEK 22 million project is part of a Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) supported programme.

The Zanzibar Energy Sector Support Project will be implemented by Multiconsult under contract to the Ministry of Lands, Housing, Water and Energy (MLHWE) of the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar.

The three-year project supports institutional strengthening of the Department of Energy and Minerals (DoEM) and the Zanzibar Electricity Corporation (ZECO), in addition to the purchase of energy meters and fault detection equipment.

The Multiconsult led consortium will support DoEM and the Directorate of Planning, Policy and Research (DPPR) in the preparation of an Energy Efficiency Master Plan and development of a new Energy Act. The Norwegian Embassy in Tanzania has been supporting construction of the electricity grid throughout the Islands of Zanzibar for three decades. Multiconsult is currently supporting ZECO to develop capacity for grid maintenance; and the current SIDA supported project will complement these efforts.
