Reliable and quality electrical supply with economical cost is the objective of any consumer in any country. Its total power generation and utility level decides one country’s growth rate since all industries and developments are mainly based on availability of electricity only. This research paper presents about how much electrical energy resources are available in Tanzania from hydro, natural gas, coal, uranium, wind, geothermal, biomass, tidal and waves. As on 2022 only 37.7% of the total population is having access to electricity in Tanzania. The country does not meet the demand by the power generation. Currently it imports power from the neighboring countries like Uganda, Zambia and Kenya even then the demand is not met out. Also every year the demand is increasing. This paper also suggests medium and long term plans for generation to reduce the supply demand gap.
