Connect with us:Facebook Twitter Youtube Linkedin Instagram
Tanzanian national oil company the Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) has signed a MoU with energy trading firm Energetech-Tantel to collaborate on the development of natural gas infrastructure and resource distribution.
Under the two-year partnership, the parties will undertake feasibility and engineering studies, obtain regulatory approvals, secure project financing and advance LNG production. TPDC will lead upstream activities while Energetech-Tantel will focus on downstream operations
“This partnership will enable us to deliver scalable energy solutions and fulfill our industrialization agenda. It prioritizes local content development and empowers Tanzanian businesses,” stated Goodluck Shirima; Commissioner-Petroleum and Gas; Ministry of Energy, Tanzania.
The $100 million project aims to achieve first LNG output within 12 months, initially producing 20-30 million standard cubic feet of gas per day with plans to scale up to 100 million standard cubic feet.

Tanzania Targets October Close for $42B LNG Facility Agreement
Connect with us:Facebook Twitter Youtube Linkedin Instagram
Tanzania’s government has announced it aims to ratify the terms of a $42 billion LNG facility by October 2025.
According to the country’s Deputy Minister Dr. Doto Biteko, the government is negotiating terms with a consortium comprising energy giants Shell, Equinor and ExxonMobil.
With aims to set the country up as a potential export hub for LNG, Tanzania’s government aims to ensure 3% of natural gas from the LNG project is reserved for domestic utilization while the consortium commits to local content capacity building.
In addition to the development of the LNG facility, Deputy Minster Biteko also highlighted the need for the country to fast-track development of key natural gas blocks to meet rising regional and international demand.

The signing, a momentous occasion, was witnessed by Goodluck Shirima, Commissioner for Petroleum and Gas, at the Ministry of Energy in Tanzania. Mr. Shirima was present representing the nation's highest energy authority, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Energy, Hon. Dr. Doto Biteko.
This MOU powerfully echoes the nation's ambitious strategic energy goals. It directly aligns with President Samia Suluhu Hassan's resolute presidential directives to establish Tanzania as a leading regional energy hub for both the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC).
The MOU outlines an ambitious two-year roadmap encompassing comprehensive feasibility studies, essential permitting, detailed engineering, securing financing, and ultimately, LNG production. Targeted first output of LNG is expected within a remarkably ambitious 12 months.
At its core, this innovative project aims to harness Tanzania's natural gas resources and make them accessible as energy through a modular, scalable approach. This will involve the construction of a turnkey modular LNG plant and the implementation of cryogenic containers for efficient last-mile distribution. The initial output is projected to be between 20 and 30 million standard cubic feet (scf) per day, with significant potential to scale beyond 100 million scf, addressing growing energy demands.
Under the terms of the agreement, Energetech-Tantel will spearhead the financing, engineering, and downstream distribution aspects of the project, focusing on delivering energy to where it's needed most. TPDC will provide crucial support in upstream gas provision and facilitate government interface, including the necessary permitting processes. The project, estimated at $80–100 million, is being selffinanced in its initial phase, with strategic plans to onboard institutional capital as the venture expands.
The initiative represents a significant departure from traditional large-scale LNG developments, leveraging modularity to enable faster feasibility, streamlined financial closure, and rapid deployment. Unlike conventional offshore LNG plants that demand billions in investment and years of development, this modular model allows for phased investment and quicker, more impactful results.
Goodluck Shirima, Commissioner for Petroleum and Gas, Tanzania Ministry of Energy, added, "Private sector investment is crucial for delivering scalable solutions. This partnership will enable us to fulfill our industrialization promise for Tanzania, prioritizing local content development and empowering Tanzanian businesses. Once operational, Tanzanian households and manufacturers will benefit from clean gas energy, leading to reduced production costs."
"At TPDC, we champion public-private partnerships that deliver solutions for Tanzanians," said Mussa Makame, Managing Director, TPDC. "Our goal is to leverage our natural resources to become a regional leader in clean energy. We are proud to partner with Energetech-Tantel to provide clean, efficient energy to off-grid and rural communities, powering homes, businesses, and industries. Accelerating gas production with a commercial focus and involving the private sector is key to our strategy."
"This is not just a partnership, but a shared commitment to transform Tanzania's energy industry," stated Alistair Naiken, CEO of Energetech-Tantel. "We are building real-energy solutions that will change society, delivering gas where and when it's needed most, with the environment at the core of our operations. A key focus is ensuring Tanzanians consume this energy first, especially industrial customers, as a clean transition fuel.
" Daniel Gabai, President and COO, Tantel Holdings, commented, "Tanzania is the most promising country in East Africa. At Tantel Holdings, we invest not only in potential but in people, embracing large infrastructure challenges. We believe Tanzania will become a leading force for growth in Africa over the next decade, and this project will be the most efficient clean energy project on the continent, serving both local and regional markets."
"The availability of energy solutions is fundamental for any country's development," concluded Moshe Schlisser, Chairman, Tantel Holdings. "Through this partnership, we expect to deliver scalable, sustainable energy, positioning Tanzania as a leader in renewable energy in East Africa. This project will directly employ thousands of Tanzanians and indirectly drive industrial growth, making Tanzania an innovation hub for Africa."
