The following are the recommendations for inclusion within the National Vision 2050

  1. Inclusion of target for the different sources to be used in generation. The Power System Master Plan 2020 set targets for energy generation, with renewable sources, excluding hydropower, receiving minimal emphasis, while coal and gas were prioritized. The Power System Master Plan 2020 is currently under review. Additionally, the upcoming Africa Energy Summit is expected to launch the Tanzania National Energy Compact 2025-2030, which will likely address these targets and promote a more balanced energy mix.
  2. The inclusion of inspiration for an economy-wide adoption of energy efficiency within Section 4.3.2
  3. Inclusion of aspiration within the transformative sector in manufacturing for promotion of off-grid solutions, decentralized productive use of energy and non-electricity uses for driving socio-economic development.
  4. Inclusion within Section 3.3.4, aspiration C) to include the realization of a resilient smart network of energy infrastructure, transitioning to clean and renewable energy sources, promoting environmental sustainability, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing energy security for all sectors of society.


Recommendations for inclusion in the Draft National Vision 2050 in Addressing Energy

  1. Addition of an aspiration envisioning the realization of a nation that utilizes and is informed by co-produced and downscaled climate services for making informed decisions and plans economy-wide. The attainment of co-produced and downscaled climate service shall address the major challenge which makes current climate service being seeing un-reliable and in actionable. Furthermore, within the drivers of science and technology consider the inclusion of improvement in meteorological infrastructure for better data collection and distribution leading to improvement in climate service.
  2. Within drivers under research and development addition of an aspiration to recognize and integrate traditional knowledge and practices with scientific knowledge. This hybrid approach is relevant to local communities and helps preserve cultural heritage.
