Tanzania has set an ambitious target to generate 8,000 megawatts of electricity by 2030 through a diversified mix of energy sources. The Ministry of Energy confirmed that new power generation projects will be implemented to ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply nationwide. This initiative is part of the government’s broader strategy to support economic growth and meet rising energy demand.

Speaking during the opening of the Ministry of Energy Staff Council meeting in Morogoro, Energy Minister Deogratias Ndejembi stated that all planned power projects will be implemented by 2030. He emphasized that the Ministry, working closely with key stakeholders, is committed to setting clear energy priorities and ensuring strategic projects are delivered on schedule. The statement was issued on December 15, 2025.

The Minister also highlighted the importance of clean energy adoption, urging officials from the Clean Cooking Energy Unit to intensify public education efforts. The government aims to ensure that 80 percent of Tanzanians use clean cooking energy by 2034, in line with the National Clean Cooking Energy Strategy. Ndejembi further stressed that energy—including electricity, oil, and gas—remains a critical pillar of Tanzania’s economy.

In addition, Minister Ndejembi called on Ministry staff to uphold public service ethics by avoiding corruption, mismanagement, and negligence. He urged employees to work with diligence, integrity, and professionalism to strengthen the energy sector. Meanwhile, Energy Ministry Secretary General Engineer Felchesmi Mramba reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to supervising and monitoring energy projects to guarantee Tanzanians access to safe, reliable, and high-quality energy services.
