Improving the transportation infrastructure is a key priority for the Government of Tanzania. Developing the nation’s roads, ports, railways and airport infrastructure is critical for the country to improve its internal and external trade and commercial activities. The sector’s further development includes improvements in the energy sector as Tanzania strives to become a middle-income country.

Infrastructure projects provide exciting opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on Tanzania’s fast growing economy.

• The Government is planning to increase Tanzania’s generation capacity by more than 500% to 10,000 MW in 2025. To achieve this goal
• The Government has embarked on reforming the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) mainly by attracting private capital in the industry. In line with the ESI Reform Strategy, the Government plans to increase electricity connection to 50% by 2025, and 75% by 2033
