Tanzania pushes digital innovation in energy sector

DAR ES SALAAM: Salome Makamba has said the Government will continue creating a favorable environment for investors in transportation, industry, agriculture, and other services to ensure the energy sector remains competitive and beneficial to citizens.

Speaking in Dar es Salaam during the launch of the Pris App System by Puma Energy, Makamba said the energy sector is a key driver of the economy, supporting national growth through the expansion of fuel distribution stations, investment in clean energy, and digital innovation.

She added that the launch of the system aligns directly with Tanzania’s Digital Economy Strategic Framework (DESF) 2024–2034, which aims to position Tanzania as a leading digital economy hub in Africa.

The Chief Executive Officer of Puma Energy Tanzania, Fatma Abdallah, said the program supports the country’s vision for a digital economy. She noted that the company sees itself as a strategic partner in the energy sector, helping to drive economic transformation forward.

Fatma also emphasized that development is not achieved only by selling products and services, but by creating value, encouraging innovation, and strengthening long-term relationships with the communities they serve.
