Tanzania projects planned

Tanzania’s $1.2 billion gas
pipeline between Mtwara and
the capital of Dar es Salaam
is expected to reach its full
capacity within the next ten
years – but is at present only
utilising about 10%.
According to Africa House
analyst Roelof van Tonder, the
country is planning several
gasfired projects that will see
it utilise more capacity on the
pipeline.
“The government and
the Tanzania Petroleum
Development Corporation
have identified several
projects that will utilise gas.
As these projects take off the
pipeline capacity will increase
progressively.”
Construction of the
Kinyerezi II power plant
started in 2016 and is the first
of the gas-fired projects that
will lift the pipeline capacity.
