The Vice President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Emmanuel Nchimbi, visited the exhibition booth of the TANESCO during the climax of the World Environment Day celebrations held in Dodoma on June 5, 2026.
The national event, held under World Environment Day celebrations, brought together various institutions and stakeholders to showcase initiatives aimed at protecting the environment and promoting sustainable development.
During his visit, the Vice President was taken through several projects being implemented by TANESCO.
These included efforts to promote clean cooking energy through the use of electricity, as well as environmental conservation measures applied around electricity generation sources across the country.
He was also informed about TANESCO’s ongoing commitment to supporting national environmental goals through the promotion of sustainable and cleaner energy solutions aimed at reducing environmental degradation.
Speaking during the briefing, the Head of Environment Unit at the Ministry of Energy, Emmilian Nyanda, explained that TANESCO has intensified efforts to educate the public on the importance of adopting clean cooking energy, particularly electricity.
He said the initiative is designed to encourage citizens to actively participate in environmental protection by shifting away from traditional energy sources that contribute to deforestation and environmental damage.
Nyanda further noted that public awareness campaigns remain a key component of TANESCO’s strategy, helping communities understand the benefits of clean energy in improving both health and environmental outcomes.
The 2026 environmental exhibitions were held under the theme “Vision 2050, Let Us Commit to Greening Tanzania,” which emphasizes collective responsibility in safeguarding the environment and ensuring a sustainable future.
