Wood fuel still is the most important energy used in Tanzania, accounting for over 90 percent of total energy consumption. Due to lacking programmes promoting the sustainable supply of wood fuel, availability of biomass resources declined crucially. About 8 percent of the energy end-use comes from petroleum, whereas electricity, mostly coming from large hydropower, only accounts  for 2 percent. Out of Tanzania's 41.5 million inhabitants, so far only 12 percent of urban and 2 percent of rural areas are electrified, which means that less than 10  percent have access to grid-based electricity or other forms of commercial electricity. The national electricity connectivity is about 14%; though, it is expected that electricity demand will triple by 2020.

Situation analysis and framework conditions

Energy situation especially in rural areas

Wood fuel still is the most important energy used in Tanzania, accounting for over 90 percent of total energy consumption. Due to lacking programmes promoting the sustainable supply of wood fuel, availability of biomass resources declined crucially. About 8 percent of the energy end-use comes from petroleum, whereas electricity, mostly coming from large hydropower, only accounts  for 2 percent. Out of Tanzania's 41.5 million inhabitants, so far only 12 percent of urban and 2 percent of rural areas are electrified, which means that less than 10  percent have access to grid-based electricity or other forms of commercial electricity. The national electricity connectivity is about 14%; though, it is expected that electricity demand will triple by 2020.



Primary fuels in urban areas

  • Lighting
Dar other urban areas
Electricity for lighting 56 % 28 %
Fuel for lighting 40 % 70 %
  • Cooking
Dar other urban areas
Firefood 5 % 34 %
Charchoal 70 % 55 %
Kerosene 12 % 7 %
Electricity 2 % 1 %


Primary fuels in rural areas

  • Lighting
Electricity for lighting 1.4 %
Fuel for lighting 90.4 %


  • Cooking
Firewood 91%
