Energy Minister Deogratius Ndejembi ordered the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation to multiply compressed natural gas refueling infrastructure throughout Dar es Salaam while launching operations in Dodoma, Arusha, Morogoro and Tanga. The directive responds to surging consumer appetite for affordable fuel alternatives as President Samia Suluhu Hassan prioritizes economic relief for transportation businesses struggling with elevated operational expenses.
Ndejembi convened separate discussions with petroleum regulators, urging the Upstream Regulatory Authority to amplify technological advancement and craft policies generating stronger national returns from hydrocarbon resources. The minister emphasized that expanded CNG availability will slash household budgets while strengthening public services across Tanzania's most populous commercial and administrative centers.
