The Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture (TCCIA) has officially inaugurated the first edition of Power & Elec Tanzania 2025 in Dar es Salaam on February 5, 2025, an international trade platform uniting key players in power, energy, electrical, electronics, renewable energy, solar, and telecommunications.
The three-day event, running from February 5 to 7, 2025, at the Diamond Jubilee Hall, brings together industry professionals, investors, and decision-makers looking to tap into East Africa’s growing energy market.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, TCCIA Executive Director Oscar Kissanga highlighted Tanzania’s position as an emerging energy hub in East and Central Africa, emphasizing the country’s growing role in renewable energy, infrastructure development, and global trade partnerships.
He noted that the country is attracting investors due to its strategic location and rising demand for sustainable power solutions.
Kissanga pointed to Tanzania’s increasing investments in solar, wind, and hydro projects, positioning the country to meet its energy needs through sustainable means. He stated, “With vast solar potential and increasing wind and hydro projects, Tanzania is on track to meet its growing energy demands sustainably.”
He also addressed the rising demand for electronics and infrastructure, mentioning that the electronic market in Tanzania is projected to reach USD 161.60 million in 2025, reflecting a surge in technology adoption and infrastructure expansion.
He added that global trade partnerships are crucial to Tanzania’s industrial growth, with countries such as China, India, Zambia, and Turkey remaining key exporters of essential materials like wires and cables.
Kissanga referenced Tanzania’s recent hosting of the Africa Energy Summit 2025 on January 27–28, 2025, as part of the Mission 300 Initiative, which aimed to reshape Africa’s energy landscape.
He noted that the summit brought together African Heads of State, global financiers, and international development organizations, including the African Union, AfDB, World Bank, and the Rockefeller Foundation, underscoring Africa’s commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions.
In closing, Kissanga encouraged businesses to leverage the opportunities provided by the exhibition and emphasized TCCIA’s commitment to facilitating investment, technology adoption, and policy advocacy to support Tanzania’s energy and industrial growth.
As Power & Elec Tanzania 2025 continues until February 7, exhibitors, investors, and stakeholders will explore ways to power industries, drive progress, and strengthen Tanzania’s connection to the global energy landscape.
