The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA)
recently released new rules to govern various electricity matters.
These relate to the development of small power projects (SPPs),
generation, transmission and distribution activities along with
supply services. The new rules attempt to address some of the
challenges contained in the previous (repealed) rules by providing
less procedural requirements. In this article, we provide an
overview of the recently released Electricity Rules and how this
affects businesses in Tanzania.
The DSPP Rules
The DSPP Rules repeal the Electricity (Development of Small
Power Projects) Rules (the DSPP 2018 Rules) and
govern the regulatory and procedural matters relating to DSPPs in
Tanzania.
