Energy Policy in Tanzania
VisionA vibrant Energy Sector that contributes significantly to economic
growth and improved quality of life of Tanzanians.

Main Objective
To provide guidance for sustainable development and utilization ofenergy resources to ensure optimal benefits to Tanzanians andcontribute towards transformation of the national economy.
In 1992, the First National Energy Policy (NEP) was formulated due tosocio-economic reforms which took place in 1990s in the country.
In 2000, the former National Energy Policy was reviewed andlaunched in 2003 with the main objectives of reforming the energy
market and attracting private sector participation in the Energy
sector.
In 2015, the National Energy Policy was reformulated “NEP, 2015”
with the aims of improving business environment to attract moreprivate investments and local participation in the Energy sector,particularly in power generation; and participating in cross-borderpower trading.
16

IEEJ：August 2018 © IEEJ2018

Current Energy Policy and Measures
The NEP, 2015 taking into consideration global initiative of providing
sustainable energy for all, and focuses on increasing access tomodern energy services and increasing the share of renewableenergies in electricity generation mix to enhance availabily, reliablity
and security of supply.
NEP, 2015 is there to facilitate provision of adequate, reliable andaffordable modern energy to Tanzanians in a sustainable manner
which will able to achieve the desired objectives enshrined in theNational Development Vision 2025.
The ultimate goal of the policy is to ensure energy security andenhance development in the country.
The Policy provides comprehensive legal, regulatory and institutionalframeworks for petroleum, electricity, renewable energies and local
content issues.

Major Difficulties and Bottlenecks Currently Facedin Formulating Energy Policies
Inadequate human resource with requisite skills andknowledge.
Low participation of key stakeholders including the energy
end users during policy formulation process.
Inadequate Financial resources.
Inadequate research and development.
