Why it matters
Reflects Africa's growing focus on renewable energy infrastructure to ensure sustainable and reliable power access.
Dar es Salaam. Tanzania is targeting a contribution of up to 130 megawatts (MW) of geothermal electricity by 2030 as part of efforts to diversify its energy mix and strengthen the reliability of power supply.
The target is part of Tanzania’s commitments under the Mission 300 initiative, which seeks to expand access to affordable, reliable, and sustainable electricity across Africa.
Tanzania’s Energy Compact identifies geothermal energy as one of the renewable energy sources expected to contribute to the country’s electricity generation mix by 2030.
The geothermal contribution will support Tanzania’s broader strategy to expand electricity generation capacity and reduce overreliance on individual energy sources by developing a mix of hydropower, natural gas, solar, wind and geothermal resources.
