EWURA derives its powers from Cap 414. Being a multi-sectoral regulatory authority, EWURA’s powers also emanate from sector legislations. In terms of principal legislation in the electricity sector, it derives its powers from the Electricity Act, Cap 131; in the petroleum sector, from the Petroleum (Conservation) Act, Cap 392; in the water and sewerage sectors, from the Water (Utilisation and Control) Act, Cap 331, the Waterworks Act, Cap 272 and the Dar es Salaam Water Supply and Sewerage Authority Act, Cap 273. In the case of natural gas sector, some of the regulated activities are governed by the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, Cap 328. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals is currently drafting the Gas Supply Bill to split the roles of EWURA from those of the sector ministry.
