Tanzania's natural gas infrastructure has reached a pivotal milestone. The Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) confirmed that the Mtwara-to-Dar es Salaam natural gas pipeline is now running at its full designed capacity of 784 million standard cubic feet per day.
The pipeline, which stretches 543 kilometres through southern Tanzania, serves as the backbone of the country's gas-to-power strategy. Several industrial customers along the route have already switched from diesel to natural gas, reducing operating costs significantly.
