Tanzania's natural gas output falls further as hydropower expands

Dar es Salaam. Tanzania’s natural gas production fell sharply in the second quarter of 2025, dropping by 24.5 percent to 15,493.5 million standard cubic feet (Mmscf) compared to the same period in 2024.

The Bank of Tanzania’s (BoT) Consolidated Zonal Economic Performance report ending March showed that the steepest decline occurred at the Songo Songo field, historically one of the country’s largest gas producers.
