This article explores the shifting landscapes of light, labor, and value produced by the politics of electrification in Tanzania. Through engaging the anthropologies of infrastructure and electricity, it asks, how do people understand the relationship between electricity and value in the landscapes that sustain them? A brief outline of the history of electrification in Tanzania highlights its role in the production of place, and analysis of fieldwork with residents, leaders, and energy advocates between 2017 and 2020 reveals contemporary understandings of the relationship between electricity, value, and place. The article then chronicles recent government efforts to dramatically expand access to electricity, outlines the processes of selective grid expansion, and describes how people experience and understand its effects. I construct a theory of infrastructural triage to conceptualize the process of assigning degrees of urgency, priority, and value for developing infrastructure in particular spaces and for particular people and highlight its role in newly configuring the landscapes and timescapes in which people live and experience their everyday lives. In the process of enhancing the productivity and labor of some people but not others, electricity facilitates, obstructs, and marks flows of value across landscapes.

未来在各个地方：坦桑尼亚的电力、价值和基础设施分类

本文探讨了坦桑尼亚电气化政治所产生的光、劳动力和价值的变化格局。通过参与基础设施和电力的人类学，它问，人们如何理解电力和维持它们的景观中的价值之间的关系？对坦桑尼亚电气化历史的简要概述突出了其在地方生产中的作用，对 2017 年至 2020 年间与居民、领导人和能源倡导者的实地工作的分析揭示了当代对电力、价值和地方之间关系的理解。然后，文章记录了政府最近为大幅扩大电力供应所做的努力，概述了选择性电网扩张的过程，并描述了人们如何体验和理解其影响。我构建了一个基础设施分类理论，以概念化为特定空间和特定人群开发基础设施的紧迫性、优先级和价值的分配过程，并强调其在新配置人们生活和体验日常生活的景观和时间景观中的作用生活。在提高一些人而非其他人的生产力和劳动的过程中，电力促进、阻碍和标记了跨景观的价值流动。
