Fuel prices in Tanzania have seen a slight increase for December 2025, according to the Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA). This rise comes after EWURA issued new fuel cap rates that will take effect throughout the month. These adjustments are expected to impact consumers as they navigate the holiday season, affecting both transportation and general goods prices.
The new fuel prices reflect changes in global oil market conditions, and EWURA has stated that the revised rates will ensure a balance between the interests of consumers and the broader energy sector. Although the rise in fuel prices is marginal, it remains a critical factor for businesses and households, especially in a country where fuel is a key component of the economy.
For consumers, this increase could mean slightly higher costs at the pump, which may trickle down into the price of other goods and services, especially transportation.
EWURA’s decision to adjust the fuel cap rates comes amid global energy price fluctuations, with various countries around the world adjusting their prices in response to market dynamics. The regulator assured that the new rates will be reviewed regularly to ensure they remain in line with both local and international market conditions.
As of now, Tanzania’s fuel prices are still lower compared to many other African countries, but this latest rise will have some impact on households, particularly those with high fuel consumption.
