IRINGA, Oct. 4 -- The Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA) has reminded prospective investors that obtaining a construction permit from the regulator is a mandatory step before establishing any fuel station in Tanzania.

The call was made today, October 3, 2025, in Iringa by EWURAs Central Zone Manager, Ms Hawa Lweno, during a meeting with stakeholders from the petroleum, electricity, and water sub-sectors.

Ms Lweno noted that while there has been a growing response from investors opening fuel stations, particularly in rural areas, challenges have arisen where some begin construction without acquiring EWURAs permit.
