AFRICA: TANZANIA: Power crisis is cement firm’s biggest concern this year



Dar es Salaam. The Tanzania Portland Cement is concerned that its sales targets might not be met this year because of the power crisis.

Speaking this week in the city at the ceremony to award outstanding distributors, TPCC managing director Lesoinne Pascal said 2010 was a very successful year for TPCC as the firm managed to achieve its sales target, but the power shortage that started at the end of last year would derail the firm’s targets this year.

“If immediate measures are not taken by the government to resolve the current power crisis, development of this country will be hindered since we will not be able to produce cement according to our plans,” he said.
