Solar & Mini-Grid EPC in Tanzania
Tanzania is still actively electrifying, and its Small Power Purchase Agreement framework covers projects up to 10 MW. There is no residential net metering, which shapes what is worth building.

The market
Tanzania's Small Power Purchase Agreement framework covers projects up to 10 MW, providing a route for independent generation. There is no residential net metering framework, so the domestic rooftop segment that drives volume in the Gulf does not exist here in the same form.
What does exist is a substantial electrification programme and strong demand for reliable commercial supply. Tanzania and Rwanda are still actively electrifying via mini-grids, and that is where DFI funding is concentrated.

Frequently asked questions
What is the SPPA framework in Tanzania?
The Small Power Purchase Agreement framework provides a route for independent power projects up to 10 MW to sell into the system.
Does Tanzania have residential net metering?
No. There is no residential net metering framework in Tanzania, so the domestic rooftop segment operates differently from markets like the UAE or Kenya.
What is the main opportunity in Tanzania?
Mini-grid development and rural electrification, alongside commercial and industrial hybrid systems. These projects are frequently funded by development finance institutions.
