The importance of energy supply for Tanzania is demonstrated by the fact that Energy Minister Doto Mashaka Biteko is also Deputy Prime Minister in President Samia Suluhu Hassan’s cabinet. At the African Energy Summit in Tanzania’s port city of Dar es Salaam on Monday, Biteko explained the relevance of a secure energy supply for his country, but also for the entire continent. „We are committed to ensuring that at least 300 million people across Africa have access to electricity in the next five years,“ said the 46-year-old at the summit, which ends this Tuesday. „This is an achievable goal and Tanzania is proud to contribute to the realization of this goal.“
