Description: Tanzania has abundant energy resources such as natural gas, coal, uranium and renewable energies (hydro, solar, wind, geothermal, bio-energies, tidal waves). Despite these resources, there is yet insufficient supply of modern energy services. The energy sector in Tanzania faces considerable challenges which include: mobilising funds for investment; attracting private capital in the electricity sub-sector; increasing connection and access levels to electricity; diversifying energy resources for power generation; enhancing affordability and reliability of power supply; and reducing power system losses both technical and non-technical.
