Mpango huu mpya ukiashiria hatua kubwa katika juhudi za nchi hiyo za kuimarisha usalama wa ugavi wa mafuta na utulivu wa bei za ndani.

Waziri Mkuu Dkt. Justin Nsengiyumva alitangaza maendeleo hayo mapya mnamo Julai 9, 2026, huku akiwasilisha ripoti hiyo kwa kikao cha pamoja cha Bunge kuhusu hatua za serikali za kuimarisha uimara wa kiuchumi wa Rwanda na kulinda ustawi wa raia dhidi ya mshtuko wa ndani na nje.

Alisema upokeaji na usafirishaji wa shehena hiyo ya mafuta , ambao unatarajiwa kuwasili katika Bandari ya Tanga nchini Tanzania ifikapo mwisho wa Julai 2026, ni sehemu ya mkakati mpya wa ununuzi wa mafuta unaoongozwa na serikali unaotekelezwa kupitia Kampuni ya Nishati ya Kitaifa ya Rwanda (RNEC) kwa ushirikiano na nchi zinazozalisha na kusafisha mafuta.

"Serikali imeanzisha mfumo mkuu wa kuagiza bidhaa za petroli iliyosafishwa kupitia RNEC ili kufanya uagizaji wa mafuta kuwa na ufanisi zaidi na kufikia lengo la upunguzaji endelevu wa bei za mafuta," Dkt. Nsengiyumva aliwaambia wabunge.

Aliongeza kuwa meli ya kwanza iliyobeba tani 40,000 za bidhaa za petroli inatarajiwa kutia nanga katika Bandari ya Tanga Tanzania ifikapo mwisho wa Julai 2026, huku Rwanda ikipanga kupokea shehena kama hizo kila mwezi baada ya hapo.

"Usafirishaji huu wa kawaida utasaidia kuhakikisha bei ya mafuta ya chini na thabiti zaidi kwa muda mrefu," alisema.

Mpango huu unafuatia mfululizo wa makubaliano ya pande mbili yanayolenga kubadilisha njia za usambazaji wa mafuta ili yafike nchini Rwanda kwa wakati na kuimarisha usalama wa nishati.

Mnamo Juni 29, 2026, Rwanda ilisaini makubaliano ya serikali kwa serikali na Kenya ili kuwezesha uagizaji wa bidhaa za petroli kupitia Bandari ya Mombasa. Mkataba huo unaipa Rwanda utumiaji wa vituo vya kuhifadhi mafuta vya Kenya, miundombinu ya usafirishaji na mtandao wa mabomba ya mafuta.

Mpangilio huu unatarajiwa kuboresha uhakika wa usambazaji wa mafuta, kupunguza vikwazo vya ugavi na kuruhusu mipango ya uagizaji inayoweza kutabirika zaidi.

Rwanda pia ilisaini makubaliano tofauti, na Tanzania ya kuagiza petroli na dizeli kupitia Bandari ya Tanga. Mkataba huo ulihitimishwa kati ya RNEC na Gulf Bulk Petroleum Tanzania Limited (GBP).

Serikali inatarajia mipango mipya ya ununuzi kupunguza gharama za usafiri, kuboresha upatikanaji wa mafuta na kulinda soko la ndani kutokana na kubadilika kwa bei.

Chini ya mapitio ya hivi karibuni ya bei ya mafuta yaliyotangazwa mnamo Juni 5, 2026, lita moja ya petroli inauzwa nchini Rwanda kwa rejareja kwa Rwf 2,938, huku dizeli ikiuzwa kwa Rwf 2,927 kwa lita.

RWANDA SIGNS DEAL TO IMPORT PETROLEUM THROUGH TANZANIA'S PORT OF TANGA.​

images_PbshYjF.jpg


Rwanda National Energy Company (RNEC) and Gulf Bulk Petroleum Tanzania Limited (GBP) have signed an agreement to facilitate the importation and storage of bulk refined petroleum products through Tanzania's Port of Tanga. The deal is part of Rwanda's strategy to strengthen fuel supply security by expanding access to multiple regional import corridors and reducing reliance on a single route.

The agreement follows Rwanda's recent petroleum import arrangement with Kenya and reinforces the country's approach of utilizing both the Central Corridor through Tanzania and the Northern Corridor through Kenya. By diversifying its supply routes, Rwanda aims to improve the reliability of fuel imports, enhance energy security, and support growing domestic demand.

The partnership also highlights Tanzania's growing role as a regional energy and logistics hub. Using the Port of Tanga will provide Rwanda with additional import and storage capacity while strengthening trade and energy cooperation between the two neighboring countries, contributing to more efficient petroleum supply chains across East Africa​

Rwanda shifts fuel imports from Tanzania to Kenya !

Away From Tanzania, Rwanda Turns to Kenya for Petroleum Products​

written by Stephen Kamanzi

HL-9XqOWUAA1hLy.jpg

Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi (LEFT) and Rwanda’s Minister of Trade and Industry Antoine-Marie Kajangwe today in Nairobi
NAIROBI / KIGALI — Rwanda has signed a landmark energy agreement with Kenya that could significantly reshape regional fuel trade routes in East Africa, marking a strategic shift in petroleum logistics even as traditional corridors remain active.

The agreements, signed on June 29, 2026 at KASNEB Tower in Nairobi, establish a Government-to-Government (G2G) framework allowing Rwanda to import refined petroleum products through Kenya’s Port of Mombasa and the Northern Corridor infrastructure, via Uganda.

The deal was signed between Kenya’s Energy and Petroleum Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi and Rwanda’s Minister of Trade and Industry Antoine-Marie Kajangwe, with senior officials from both countries, including the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) and Rwanda National Energy Company (RNEC), in attendance.

A structural shift​

The arrangement is anchored on three agreements — a Memorandum of Understanding, a Tripartite Agreement, and a Transport and Storage Agreement — which collectively govern commercial, legal, and logistical aspects of the fuel supply chain.

Under the framework, Rwanda will now access fuel through the Port of Mombasa, transported via Kenya’s 1,342-kilometer pipeline network and associated storage facilities. The system includes capacity at key depots and the Kisumu Oil Jetty, positioning Kenya as a growing transit hub for Rwanda’s bulk petroleum imports.

Rwandan and Kenyan governments say shipments through the Northern Corridor could rise more than tenfold — from roughly 42,000–50,000 cubic metres annually to over 500,000 cubic metres (or 500 million litres)

The first shipment, identified as RNEC 001/2026, is expected to arrive in Mombasa between September 4 and 6.

Why Rwanda is shifting north​

HL-9VznXcAAkIUV.jpg


For decades, Rwanda — a landlocked country — has relied heavily on the Central Corridor through Tanzania for imports, with over 70% of all goods still moving through Dar es Salaam. That dominance is expected to continue for most product categories, especially consumer goods and general cargo.

However, petroleum imports are expected to gradually diverge from that pattern. While Tanzania Ports Authority has recently strengthened its presence in Kigali through a local office to streamline logistics and maintain competitiveness, Rwanda’s fuel imports are likely to see a significant shift toward Kenya under the new government-to-government framework.

Private oil marketers are expected to continue using the Dar es Salaam route, meaning the Tanzanian corridor will remain relevant but with reduced dominance in the petroleum segment.

Kenyan and Rwandan officials involved in the Kenya deal describe it as a long-term effort to strengthen energy resilience, reduce transport bottlenecks, and deepen integration within the East African Community.

Kenya, meanwhile, is positioning itself as a regional logistics hub. Kenya Pipeline Company has emphasized its expanded storage capacity — now extended to 90 days for Rwanda-bound cargo — as a key competitive advantage.

Global supply chain​

HL-9VKdWoAAIcOY.jpg


Under the G2G arrangement, Rwanda’s imports will be coordinated through its National Energy Company (RNEC), which is registered in Kenya and licensed to handle import, export, and wholesale petroleum trade.

Reports indicate that initial supplies will be sourced through OQ Trading, the international trading arm linked to Oman’s energy sector.

The arrangement reduces reliance on private Kenyan oil marketers, centralizing fuel imports under state-to-state coordination.

A regional trade ripple effect​

Beyond energy logistics, the shift carries wider regional implications. Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo — particularly Goma, Bukavu, and surrounding areas, with a combined population of up to 10 million people — depends heavily on re-exported refined fuel that moves through Rwanda.

This cross-border fuel trade has become a significant component of Rwanda’s external commerce, making re-exports to DRC one of the country’s top export streams.

Any changes in import routes and fuel pricing structures therefore have the potential to influence not only Rwanda’s domestic market but also supply chains deep into eastern Congo, where fuel access remains fragile and heavily dependent on informal and formal cross-border flows.

Implications​

HL-9UgPWUAEyKaT.jpg


The deal also reflects a broader balancing act in Rwanda’s trade geography. While Tanzania remains a critical partner and will continue handling the majority of non-fuel imports, Kenya is emerging as a strategic alternative for energy security.

Rwanda’s annual petroleum consumption is estimated at 700–900 million litres, driven by transport demand, industrial growth, and regional trade activity. Officials argue that improved supply efficiency could help stabilize costs and strengthen resilience against global price volatility.

Kenya’s Energy Cabinet Secretary described the agreement as part of a broader directive from President William Ruto to deepen regional infrastructure integration, while Rwanda’s trade minister called it a “turning point” in securing reliable and affordable energy supplies.

A shifting regional corridor map​

The agreement reflects a gradual but significant realignment of East Africa’s transport corridors, where landlocked economies increasingly diversify routes to reduce dependence on single ports or transit systems.

While the Dar es Salaam route remains structurally dominant for most imports, the Nairobi-Mombasa corridor is now set to become a major artery for petroleum flows into Rwanda.


The development underscores both economic pragmatism and geopolitical balancing in a region where infrastructure corridors are increasingly strategic assets rather than purely commercial routes.

The success of the agreement will depend on implementation efficiency — particularly pipeline logistics, storage coordination, and global supply contracts.

If fully operational, the Kenya-Rwanda fuel corridor could become a model for state-to-state energy partnerships in Africa.

But for now, it signals a more immediate shift: Rwanda is not abandoning Tanzania, but it is no longer dependent on a single corridor for one of its most strategic imports — and East Africa’s fuel geography is quietly being redrawn

Tanzania–France Business Roundtable in Paris
During Tanzania–France Business Roundtable in Paris, the Prime Minister emphasised that Tanzania is transitioning away from traditional aid toward structured partnerships focused on industrial production, technology transfer, and local value addition.

The high-level forum was jointly organised by the Tanzanian Embassy in Paris, MEDEF International, and the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation (TPSF). Officials noted that the rollout of Vision 2050 on July 1, 2026, marks a decisive turning point in Tanzania’s growth trajectory.

Dr Nchemba outlined major investment opportunities across agriculture—which employs 65 percent of the population and contributes over a quarter of GDP—proposing joint ventures in agro-processing, cold-chain logistics, and smart irrigation.

He also highlighted infrastructure enablers like the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and port expansions that position Tanzania as a strategic gateway linking East, Central, and Southern Africa. French firms were invited to invest in transport systems, renewable energy, mining beneficiation (for gold, tanzanite, lithium, graphite, and rare earth elements), the Blue Economy, and the expanding digital ecosystem.

To streamline setups, the Prime Minister promoted the Tanzania Investment and Special Economic Zones Authority (TISEZA) as a one-stop center offering robust legal protections, policy stability, and profit repatriation guarantees. Alongside economic engagement, Tanzania also highlighted cultural diplomacy initiatives, particularly the global expansion of Kiswahili through international media platforms.

The roundtable culminated in a significant institutional milestone with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the TPSF. Under the watchful eye of the Prime Minister, the strategic agreement was finalized as TPSF Chief Executive Officer Deo Massawe exchanged the documents with ICC Deputy Secretary General Julia Kassum, cementing a new framework for global commercial cooperation.

The private sector's role in driving national development took center stage during the high-level deliberations. Minister for Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Ambassador Mahmoud Thabit Kombo, noted that the forum directly aligns with Vision 2050, which targets an unprecedented 70 percent contribution from the private sector to drive national economic transformation.

Ambassador Kombo emphasized that Tanzania is deliberately positioning itself as a private sector-led economy, supported by policy reforms aimed at improving the investment climate.

TPSF President Angelina Ngalula added that Tanzania is firmly at the center of Africa's evolving economic landscape under President Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan’s leadership. She noted that future cooperation must evolve into deeper, technology-driven collaborations focused on value creation across financial services, tourism, and the digital economy.

The event attracted a diverse array of French companies representing advanced sectors, including firms specializing in solar energy systems, smart lighting infrastructure, urban transport solutions, water treatment, and construction engineering.

Investors from emerging blue economy industries also participated, alongside global satellite operators and industrial manufacturers specializing in high-grade piping solutions for the oil and gas sector.

The high-level engagement was attended by Minister for Minerals Anthony Mavunde, Minister for Energy Deogratius Ndejembi, and Tanzania’s Ambassador to France, Saidi Othman Yakubu.

They were joined by MEDEF International CEO Philippe Gautier and French–East African Business Council President Celine Gouvieia. Officials said the strong turnout reflected growing investor confidence in Tanzania’s reform agenda and its long-term economic vision.
