Tanzania has presented a wide range of investment opportunities in the energy sector to international investors in India, highlighting the country’s growing electricity market and favourable investment climate.
Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Energy responsible for Electricity and Renewable Energy, Eng Felchesmi Mramba, said Tanzania offers significant opportunities for global companies interested in investing in power generation and renewable energy projects.
Speaking in New Delhi during a special India–Africa Partnership session held on the sidelines of the Bharat Electricity 2026 conference, Eng Mramba said Tanzania continues to position itself as one of the most promising energy investment destinations in Africa.
He said the government is encouraging investors to participate in projects across the entire electricity value chain, including power generation, transmission and distribution.
The Permanent Secretary also highlighted opportunities in renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower, noting that these areas remain key priorities as the country works to diversify its energy mix and expand electricity supply.
He added that investment in clean cooking energy has also become an important focus area as Tanzania seeks to accelerate the transition to modern and environmentally friendly cooking solutions.
Eng Mramba said the government is expanding electricity infrastructure to meet rising demand driven by industrial growth and increased consumption in both urban and rural areas.
According to him, Tanzania’s electricity generation capacity has reached about 4,500 megawatts and is projected to increase to 8,000 megawatts by 2030 as new projects are developed.
He said the government, through the National Energy Compact, aims to expand electricity access, strengthen the use of renewable energy and ensure that 75 percent of Tanzanians use clean cooking energy by 2030.
Eng Mramba assured investors that Tanzania offers a stable policy environment and strong government commitment to energy development.
He said the government is ready to work with international partners to implement strategic energy projects through public-private partnerships (PPP), which are expected to play a key role in expanding the country’s power sector and supporting economic growth.
