allAfrica carries a story from The East African about a power crisis there:

Nairobi — The energy crisis engulfing Tanzania deepened last week, as it emerged that East Africa's second biggest economy is operating on a depleted electricity reserve that could throw it into darkness in case of an outage.
In coming weeks, authorities plan to shut down major hydro plants, the main source of power due to falling water levels.
The country's power generation system encompasses the use of hydro, thermal and gas power.
The interconnected grid has an installed capacity of 773MW, of which 71 per cent is hydropower.
The largest hydropower complexes are the Mtera and Kidatu Dams situated on the Great Ruaha River.
Currently, the area (Ruaha and Ihefu) has been hit by a severe drought, which has greatly affected the generation of hydropower.
Manufacturers are already staring at major revenue losses that could in turn pile pressure on prices of key commodities."
