The Government has commended the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) for its outstanding role in ensuring that Tanzanians benefit from opportunities arising from key strategic projects, including the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP).
One of EWURA’s notable achievements has been the establishment of a strong regulatory framework, which has significantly contributed to price stability across the energy and water sectors.
The Authority has implemented robust monitoring mechanisms to ensure that any proposed tariff adjustments undergo a comprehensive and transparent review process that involves public consultations.
This consultative approach empowers consumers to voice their opinions, strengthening transparency and accountability within the regulated sectors.
Since its inception, EWURA has effectively regulated the electricity sector including the promotion of renewable energy while supporting the development of new infrastructure.
It has also played a pivotal role in expanding access to electricity and enhancing water service delivery across the country.
Today, EWURA remains a critical institution in Tanzania’s energy and water service landscape. The Authority continues to turn challenges into opportunities, ensuring the efficient and reliable delivery of essential services to the public.
Regular performance evaluations of service providers are conducted using established benchmarks. This proactive oversight helps to identify and resolve emerging issues in a timely manner.
Additionally, EWURA has established an open and accessible platform for addressing consumer complaints and disputes.
This track record has reinforced the government's commitment to policies that promote local participation and ensure that the country’s natural resources bring tangible benefits to its citizens.
