Highlights
- The country aims to double the share of renewables in its energy mix and to decrease energy intensity by 2.6%/year by 2030.
- Tanesco, a state-owned utility, accounts for around 80% of the power supply.
- Equinor and Shell control large gas reserves.
- Since 2011, power generation is growing rapidly, by more than 5%/year. It is dominated by gas (47%).
- Gas and coal production remains low; the country imports its entire consumption of oil products.
- Diesel and gasoline prices have increased by around 50% since 2020, following global trends.
- Biomass is supplying more than 80% of the total consumption.
- The Power System Master Plan 2020 plans an increase of 11%/year in the power capacity by 2044, to 20 GW.
- A 2.1 GW hydropower plant is expected to be commissioned in 2024.
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 imports its entire consumption of refined products. Imports of oil products are increasing and have doubled since 2010, reaching. 3.2 Mt.
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 was 9.4 US$c/kWh for households and for small businesses (2022).
Energy Consumption
The total per capita energy consumption is around 0.39 toe (2021), more than a third lower than the average for Sub-Saharan Africa. The per capita electricity consumption was 136 kWh in 2021.
Total energy consumption increased by 3.7% in 2021 after a 1.5% decline in 2020 and a 1.3%/year progression between 2013 and 2019.
