Tanzania's LNG sector presents a necessary power generation and consumption potential, and the plant is just a success story for Tanzania.

According to information from The Citizen, a team of experts is currently in negotiations with 5 oil and gas firms - Shell, Equinor ExxonMobil, Pavillon and Ophir as the project will be executed in the Lindi region, south of Tanzania.
