The need for formulating the renewable energy policy is based on the current context in Tanzania.

In this Policy Brief, developed together with the Sustainable Energy Forum Tanzania (SEF), we explored why a stand-alone Renewable Energy Policy is urgently needed.

Key Messages:

• National Clean Energy strategies (e.g. SE4ALL) are not implemented due to lack of supporting legal instru-ments.

• National Energy Policy lack sufficient RE component and relevant regulatory frameworks

Recommendations:

• Develop comprehensive Renewable Energy Policy, including monitoring mechanism, coordination ap-proach for stakeholders, supported by robust institutional framework,

• Revise and review National Energy Policy 2015 ( NEP 2015) ,The National Energy Policy 2015 is almost outdated hence needs to be revised to take on board new challenges including emerging opportunities
