2008 Zanzibar power blackout

The 2008 Zanzibar Power blackout was an extensive power outage on Zanzibar, Tanzania. During May and June 2008, Zanzibar suffered a period of almost one month without mains electricity due to a grid failure which left the entire island dependent on alternative methods of electricity generation (mainly diesel generators).
