“Through these exhibitions, Members of Parliament will have the opportunity to witness the various initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of Energy through its institutions. Even those who have never physically visited the Julius Nyerere Dam will be able to experience it through virtual reality technology and see the significant efforts being made to generate electricity in the country,” explained Hon. Ndejembi.

He also informed MPs that TANESCO experts from different regions are available to receive and address complaints and challenges facing citizens in their constituencies, with the goal of resolving them promptly.

He noted that the exhibition features energy-efficient electric cooking stoves capable of preparing meals effectively while using minimal power.

“At this exhibition, people will witness the ongoing efforts to promote clean cooking energy. Food is being prepared using clean energy, and you will also see modern electric stoves that consume less power while delivering high efficiency,” he emphasized.

The Energy Week exhibition is scheduled to run for four days, while the Ministry of Energy’s budget is expected to be presented in Parliament on April 22, 2026.
