Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Energy (MoE) is in charge of the country's energy policy and development, in particular through the Electricity & Renewable Energy Division and the Petroleum & Gas Division, which wascreated in 2017 from the partition of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
The state-owned power utility Tanesco, Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited, is tasked with the generation, purchasing, transmission, distribution, and selling of electricity to Mainland Tanzania, as well as bulk supply to Zanzibar.
Energy Supply
Oil:
Tanzania, which does not produce oil, imports its entire consumption of refined products. After a very rapid increase between 2009 and 2014 (16%/year), imports of oil products declined by 1%/year between 2015 and 2020 (including -6% in 2020).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
The electricity tariffs are divided into five levels: Domestic Low Usage (D1), General (T1), Low Voltage (T2), Medium Voltage (T3), and High Voltage (T5).
The electricity tariff averages 10 US$c/kWh (2020).
Energy Consumption
The total per capita energy consumption is around 0.4 toe (2020), more than a third lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa. The per capita electricity consumption was 110 kWh in 2020 (almost 70% lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa).
Total energy consumption declined by 1.5% in 2020, after a 1.3%/year increase between 2013 and 2019.
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
The Power System Master Plan 2020 (PSMP 2020 Update) forecasts a total capacity of 20 GW in 2044, up from 1.6 GW in 2019, with the following capacity mix: gas 6.7 GW (33%), hydro 5.7 GW (28%), coal 5.3 GW (26%), geothermal 1.0 GW (5%), wind 0.8 GW (4%), and solar 0.7 GW (4%).
