Energy in Tanzania
In Tanzania commercial energy sources, namely petroleum and electricity account for about
8% and 1.2% respectively, of the primary energy used. Solar, wind, and coal account for
less than 1% of energy used (MEM, 2000). Biomass-based fuels particularly charcoal,
fuelwood, and bio residues dominate the energy balance. Biomass-based fuels account for
about 90% of primary energy supply.
The Tanzania energy situation is characterised by a low per capita consumption of
commercial energy. More than 80% of the total energy is consumed in rural areas.
Currently, the total energy consumption is estimated to be more than 22 million tonnes of oil
equivalent or about 29.89 GJ per capita as compared to 20.7 GJ in 1991. A vast majority of
the population, mainly rural, has very low purchasing power and depends mainly on
woodfuel for cooking, kerosene for lighting, and human energy for agriculture. Having
adequate and reliable rural energy services is an essential input for improving socioeconomic profiles in rural areas consequently contributing to growth in the national
economy.

The National Energy Policy
In Tanzania, energy is not explicitly mentioned as a priority issue in any of the social
economic development policy planning initiatives. This indicates that energy is not seen as a
priority issue by the Tanzanian government for the eradication of poverty. Though energy is
not mentioned in the poverty policies, poverty is mentioned in the energy policy. In 1992 the
first National Energy Policy was launched in which the relation between energy and poverty
eradication was addressed, by acknowledging the importance of renewable energy
technologies for low cost energy consumption. Besides the relation with poverty, the relation
between the rising energy demand and environmental degradation (e.g. deforestation) was
addressed as well in this policy (Makange, 2000). Together with the Energy Policy, the
government prepared the Energy Master Plan, which was an implementation programme for
the Energy Policy. However, this plan was restricted within government circles and not
accessible to other institutions and individuals.

The main objectives and general policy baselines of the energy policy of 1992 were
amongst others:
Liberalisation of the energy market.
Use of fiscal (taxes, duties, levies) and non-fiscal (fees, subsidies, credits, guarantees)
interventions to direct market forces and correct market failures.
Stimulate energy conservation and efficiency.
Attention to gender issues in the energy sector.
Minimum taxation of energy and the use of sector generated revenue for its
development.
Stimulation of energy technologies development and transfer.
More efficient use of energy in industry and transport sector.
Generation and distribution of electricity at affordable prices.
Supply of electricity to small townships and industries lying adjacent to and far off the
grid system, starting with agro-based industries and using alternative sources.
Development and dissemination of efficient wood fuel conversion and utilisation
technologies, coal stoves, kerosene stoves and electric stoves for domestic purposes for
rural and urban households.
Exploit hydro-electric potential.
Develop and utilise natural gas resources.
Develop and utilise coal resources.
Utilisation of forest and agricultural residues for energy production
Reducing the technological dependency and increasing self-reliance in energy
technologies by strengthening of local manufacturing capabilities for technologies,
strengthening of local research and development capabilities and manpower training in
energy technologies.
(Energy policy 1992; Makange, 2000; Kimambo & Mandara, 1992; Mwihava, 2000).
Since the 1992 Energy Policy, there have been some developments in the Tanzanian
energy sector that can be traced back to the 1992 policy in one way or another. The most
obvious change has been the privatisation process of the national electricity utility, which
can be regarded as the most important and drastic implication of the 1992 policy. Next to
that, improved stoves and modern renewable energy technologies are slowly gaining
ground in urban and to a lesser extent in rural Tanzania. Another change in the Tanzanian
energy consumption has been the increase in petrol use. There is a fast growing network of
multi-national petroleum companies and petrol stations are springing up all over the country.
Though these developments in the petrol sector are in line with the policy objective to lower
the pressures on wood resources by stimulating the use of other energy carriers, these
developments are not in line with the policys objective to reduce reliance on foreign
companies (Mrindoko & Mwihava, 2000).
Despite the few positive developments, Mrindoko & Mwihava (2000) conclude that there has
been no very significant change in the energy use patterns in Tanzania since 1992. In
practice the 1992 energy policy has not been able to stimulate constructive and promising
developments in energy services and many of the objectives have not been reached:
As of 2001 wood fuel is still the most important energy carrier in Tanzania and
pressure on wood resources remains to be enormous.
One of the national projects that were expected to make a significant contribution to
changing energy use patterns through utilisation of natural gas (Songo Songo) has
gone through numerous delays and has not been implemented so far.
The energy market is liberalized but this has not (yet) lead to many promising
private initiatives in the sector.
Though the 1992 energy policy seemed to recognize the potential of modern
renewable energy technologies, it was noted in the policy that the development and
utilisation of non-conventional energy sources such as solar and wind would be left
to entrepreneurship on the part of local organisations and businesses. Until present,
activities related to these modern sources are however still mainly restricted to
NGOs and donor funded projects and to a much lesser extent to private initiatives.
The national electricity grid has not become accessible to the rural parts of
Tanzania, nor have many decentralized grids been established.

Electricity has not become more affordable for the poor.

The national energy policy objectives aim at ensuring affordable and sustainable energy
services. The objectives are well formulated and seem to address the most important
aspects of energy provision, including the necessity of improving energy access to the poor,
by introducing improved, energy efficiency technologies and stimulating establishment of
decentralized grids. The inadequate results can therefore be traced to problems in policy
implementation. Kimambo, Mandara and Chungu (2001) gave reasons for inadequate
implementation of energy policy as follows:
The inadequate involvement of key stakeholders at the various levels of
implementation during plan formulation and implementation arrangements.
Lack of transparency.
Lack of proper distribution of tasks and responsibilities.
Inadequate use of effective technology assessment tools that can generate the
information required preparing practical implementation guidelines for all levels and
stakeholders.
Inadequate monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of fiscal, financial policy
instruments
Research and development activities are not matched with manufacturing and
human resource development
Lack of incentives for innovation and entrepreneurship,
Lack of dynamic technology transfers and information networks.
Lack of joint review (by planners and all key stakeholders responsible for plan
implementation) of the progress made each year, together with making adjustments
necessary to bridge gaps and take advantage of new opportunities.
LPG IN TANZANIA
In most countries, whether developed or emerging, LP Gas is an integral part of Energy
Policy. Indeed in the countries enjoying high per capita consumption the Government is
always instrumental in providing a climate to ensure maximum benefit is gained from LP
Gas sales. This benefit can be fiscal, social, economic and environmental. The government
of Tanzania energy policy puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of the development of a
healthy private sector. However, an often-heard criticism on present government policies
with regard to development of private sector, are the high taxes and import regulations. The
import regulations and the high taxation result in high costs for private companies and scare
investors. The tax structure includes over twenty taxes and the administration of this often
creates delays for private companies, as the procedures are inconsistent and bureaucratic.
The taxes include the Value Added Tax (VAT), which was introduced in July 1998 and
which has a standard rate of 20 percent. Critic argue that Tanzania taxes and import
regulations create obstacles in the transformation towards a free market economy and do
not support the development of the emergence of new technologies or investments of
foreign companies in the Tanzania market. The government has not been deaf on this
criticism, and for the 2001/2002 financial year, the government announced that it will reduce
and reform taxes and import regulations, in order to stimulate the growth of the private
sector.
High import duties and a tax structure that constrain the development of the private sector in
Tanzania logically constrain the development of a viable private energy sector as well.
Furthermore, import regulations seem to affect the development of the modern renewable
energy sector in particular. Companies in this sector (e.g. solar PV companies) usually have
to import all components of the products they sell, because there are no industries
manufacturing this equipment in Tanzania. In the government plans for 2001/2002 to
improve the tax system, there were no measures announced that directly and specifically
address the renewable energy sector and/or energy efficiency sector.
Tanzania has been slow to develop in terms of LP Gas growth but Governments who
provide a favourable fiscal environment for LP Gas can get fast returns on this investment
through rapid growth of LPG consumption. Tanzania LPG consumption at rural household is

almost zero where as urban household and restaurants consumption is around 3569 metric
tones (0.1 kg/capita per annum) No subsidy on LPG.The LPG industry lobbied the Tanzania
government prior to 2002 budget for relaxation of import duty and VAT and appliances
under the umbrella of Association of Tanzania Petroleum Marketing Companies but they
were not successful. Reductions in taxes and duties together with the inherent benefits of
using LPG will enable it to become a more competitive fuel leading to economic growth.
LPG EXISTING MARKET
The Tanzanian LP Gas market in the 1990s was characterized by shortages and
disruptions in supply from the Tanzania& Italian Petroleum Refinery (TIPER), high cost of
gas and lack of investment in infrastructure, packaging, and safety as well as lack of
investment by either marketing company in a Government regulated market. This
environment together with inertia by the gas marketing companies has led to a decline in
consumption from over 6,500 tonnes in 1996 to just 3,500 tonnes in 2001. Volumes have
remained static for the last 5 years at 3,500MT (0.1kg/capita) split equally between BP and
ORYX Oil Co Ltd, (OOCL - previously AGIP). Two newer small players TOTAL and Nat Gas
share less than 2% between them. ORYX fills their cylinders. No rural market yet exists.
Customers are almost exclusively from rich people who use the gas for cooking and lighting.
Other customers are owners of restaurants, hotels, clubs, game lodges, hospitals and
missions etc.
Since deregulation and closure of TIPER supplies have been imported from Aden by sea.
Initially this was through utilisation of BPs 300MT sphere and 1,000MT in 15 bullets at
TIPER. Following the commissioning of a new 1,000MT sphere by ORYX Tanzania Ltd
(OTL) last year the TIPER storage was decommissioned. Product is still imported from
Yemen, through ADDAX/ORYX who in turn sell gas to BP.
BP, ORYX Oil Co Ltd and TIPER all have 50% of their shares owned by the Government of
Tanzania through the Parastatal, Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC).
The ADDAX & ORYX GROUP based in Geneva Switzerland, which in turn own 100% of
ORYX TANZANIA LTD (OTL), owns the remaining 50% of ORYX OIL CO LTD and TIPER.

The new 1,000MT storage sphere, filling


plant and road and rail distribution plant,
opened in 2001 is owned by OTL but
leased to OOCL who undertake all
marketing of LP Gas under the ORYX
brand. To complicate this structure further
OOCL is expected to be divested by AOG,
before the end of 2002.

LP Gas is used almost exclusively for cooking by relatively rich families or restaurants,
clubs, hotels, missions and lodges. Industrial use is restricted to gold labs in Mwanza and a
single glassworks in Dar-Es-Salaam using 400MT in bulk annually.

Domestic supply is in 15kg cylinders, which


account for 63% of cylinder sales.
Both ORYX and TOTAL have introduced 6kg
cylinders with integral burner and trivet but the high
cost of gas and the cooker (USD 50-70) has
restricted sales of this size cylinder.

6kg

15kg

40kg

Commercial caterers use 40kg cylinders or bulk tanks. Cooking with gas is seen as a luxury
reserved for the rich and as a result price inelasticity is evident. A retail price of USD 1, 312
per MT in the capital rising to USD 1, 512 up country currently severely restrict growth in
sales volumes.
Such high consumer prices are a product of high cost of freight to ship gas to Tanzania and
consumer taxes of USD 444 per MT.
Over 95% of Tanzanias energy needs is provided by biomass, predominantly charcoal.
Research commissioned by ORYX this year concluded that 1 million tonnes of charcoal are
consumed in Tanzania annually resulting in severe environmental degradation. The
Tanzanian Government is being lobbied by the LP Gas Marketing Companies in an attempt
to encourage it to support LP Gas as a viable alternative to charcoal through abolition of
existing high taxes and import duty.
The industry estimates that with the right fiscal environment and their commitment to invest
in cylinders, storage, filling and distribution that the market could grow to 100,000MT within
10 years.

This growth will result from


substitution of charcoal for
cooking and is expected to be
exclusively in 6kg or smaller
cylinders not un-similar to
experiences in West Africa.

Bulk
Consumption of bulk is predominantly by restaurants, holiday hotels, mission stations and
lodges. Industrial use is negligible other than Gold labs in Mwanza and a glass works in
Dar-Es-Salaam.
There are 200 bulk customers split 50/50 between BP and ORYX consuming an average of
6.5 MT per annum amounting to total bulk volume of 1,300 MT in 2001.
Cylinders
Cylinders are used by restaurants and for cooking in middle to upper class homes in urban
areas.
Through put of a 15kg is estimated at 180 kg per annum.
Through put of a 6kg is estimated at 90 kg per annum.
Through put of a 40kg is estimated at 360 kg per annum.
MARKET POTENTIAL
Tanzania, with its liberalized petroleum products market, consistent growth in GDP and
positive environment for investment provides some of the foundations for LPG market
growth. The LP Gas Committee commissioned NORCONSULT to conduct an independent
study into the environmental benefits which are expected through use of LPG in April,
2002.Results revealed that a target consumption of 3 kg per capita should be achievable
and lead to a total market of 100,000 tonnes per annum within 10 years if conditions can be
created to encourage use of LP Gas as a substitute for biomass.

It was also identified that there were three main barriers to achieve greater use of LP Gas
in Tanzania i.e.:
Cost of LP Gas fuel

Cost of LP Gas cookers

Availability of both through efficient distribution


It was the industrys opinion that through adopting an enlightened fiscal policy the
Government could overcome the first two barriers. The final barrier, with regard to
distribution, is firmly with the LP Gas Marketing Companies who would undertake to ensure
LP Gas and cookers are available throughout Tanzania.
Currently TSH228/kg (0.288$ /kg) of duty is levied on imports of LP Gas.
In addition sales of LP Gas are subject to VAT levied at 20 % amounting to a further
TSH184/kg (0.184$/kg).
This tax burden, totaling TSH 412 (0.412$), currently represents between 35% and 38% of
the retail price of gas in Tanzania.
For this reason the LP Gas Marketing Companies proposed for a period of 5 years: 1.
Abolition of TSH228 LP Gas Duty.
2.
Zero rate VAT on LP Gas sales and equipment.
3.
Zero import duty on LP Gas equipment.

LPG DISTRIBUTION
As mentioned earlier there is no rural distribution in Tanzania. So supply chain is about
100% ex-depot Dar es Salaam, Moshi or Mwanza.Reatil distribution is all cylinder
replacement. Fiiling is done only at the LP Gas marketing companies filling plants. Bulk
distribution is done with ORYX and BP own trucks but cylinders are collected and
transported by dealer owned or hired trucks.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
There are no safety regulations other than those voluntarily put in by LP Gas marketing companies. EC rules
are generally in force at LP Gas marketing company-filling plants but much less so for transport and storage
near to customers. Safety is mostly self-regulating by LP Gas marketing companies.
FUTURE INTERVENTIONS
There is an energy policy in pipeline that may lead to a more realistic fiscal regime on LP
Gas in future. This together with tax reduction proposal prepared by LP Gas marketing
companies and submitted to the Ministry of Finance will provide a quantified and robust
argument in support of removing taxes on LPGas.
