The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) is using the 2026 Nanenane Agricultural Exhibition to raise public awareness about affordable construction technologies, energy efficiency and water services as part of broader efforts to support sustainable development and improve living standards.
EWURA Eastern Zone Manager, Eng. Lorivii Long'idu, said the regulator's participation in the exhibition is intended to educate citizens on innovative technologies that can lower construction costs while ensuring quality, safety and durability.
Speaking to journalists after the Morogoro Regional Commissioner visited the EWURA pavilion at the Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Grounds in Morogoro, Long'idu said the authority was keen to bring its services closer to the public through practical demonstrations and direct engagement.
“EWURA is participating in the 2026 Nanenane Exhibition to provide the public with information about the services we regulate. We encourage wananchi to visit our pavilion, learn about available technologies and gain a better understanding of the energy and water sectors,” he said.
He noted that public awareness remains critical as Tanzania pursues the goals outlined in the National Development Vision 2050, which aims to transform the country into a high-income economy through increased productivity, innovation and improved access to modern infrastructure and services.
According to Long'idu, EWURA is placing particular emphasis on educating citizens about efficient energy use, access to reliable water services and technologies that can help households and businesses reduce costs while supporting economic growth.
One of the key attractions at the authority's pavilion is affordable building technology, which seeks to address the high cost of construction by promoting methods and materials that are both cost-effective and structurally sound.
The annual Nanenane exhibition has increasingly become an important platform for government institutions and private sector stakeholders to showcase innovations, share knowledge and engage directly with citizens on solutions that can contribute to the country's development agenda.
