New Delhi, India

The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Energy responsible for Electricity and Renewable Energy, Engineer Felchesmi Mramba, has outlined various investment opportunities available in Tanzania’s energy sector, inviting international companies and investors to seize these opportunities in order to stimulate sector growth.

Speaking at a special India–Africa Partnership session held during the ongoing Bharat Electricity 2026 conference in India, Engineer Mramba stated that Tanzania provides a conducive investment environment and continues to position itself as one of the most promising destinations for energy sector investments in Africa.

He explained that these opportunities exist in various areas including power generation, transmission and distribution, as well as investments in renewable energy such as solar, wind, geothermal, and hydropower. He also highlighted clean cooking energy as a key priority area being promoted by the Government.

Engineer Mramba noted that Tanzania is continuing to expand its power sector to meet the growing demand driven by industrial growth and increased electricity consumption in both urban and rural areas. He revealed that the country’s current generation capacity has reached approximately 4,500 megawatts and is expected to rise to 8,000 megawatts by 2030.

He further added that through the National Energy Compact, the Government aims to increase electricity access, promote the use of renewable energy, and achieve 75 percent adoption of clean cooking energy by 2030—creating even more opportunities for investors to participate in impactful projects.

He emphasized that Tanzania is ready to collaborate with international stakeholders in implementing strategic projects through Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), assuring investors of a supportive environment, stable policies, and the Government’s strong commitment to overseeing and executing energy projects.
