Nyenzo za Udhibiti

Uanzishwaji wa EWURA na kazi zake, umebainishwa katika Sera na Sheria mbalimbali zinazoipa uwezo Mamlaka kutekeleza majukumu yake ya udhibiti wa mkondo wa kati na wa chini wa sekta ndogo ya petroli kwa ufanisi. Yafuatayo ni maelezo ya kina (utondoti) ya sera, sheria, kanuni na viwango vya ubora.

Sera ya Taifa ya Nishati ya 2015

Sera ya Taifa ya Nishati, 2015 ni muungano wa sera mbalimbali za nishati ambazo ni: Sera ya Petroli, Sera ya Ushirikishwaji wa Nchi, Sera ya Gesi Asilia, Sera ya Nishati Jadidifu, na Sera ya Taifa ya Nishati ya 2003. Lengo kuu la kuunganisha sera za sekta ya nishati ni kurahisisha usimamizi wake na kuboresha utawala na utendaji.

Sera inatoa mwelekeo sahihi wa maendeleo ya sekta hii kwa ujumla,kwa lengo la kuanzisha huduma bora, ununuzi, usafirishaji na usambazaji wa nishati kwa njia inayojali mazingira. Sera ya Taifa ya Nishati imewezesha kuwepo mfumo thabiti wa kisheria, kiudhibiti na muundo wa kitaasisi kwa ajili ya sekta ndogo ya Petroli.

Sheria

Mfumo wa kisheria wa sekta ndogo ya mafuta, umegawanywa katika maeneo mawili ambayo ni sheria kuu na sheria ndogo. Sheria kuu ni Sheria zilizotungwa na Bunge ambapo sheria ndogo ni Kanuni zilizotungwa na Waziri mwenye dhamana ya Petroli na Kanuni zinazotungwa na Mamlaka.

Viwango vya ubora vya bidhaa za petroli

Mamlaka huhakikisha kwamba, bidhaa za petroli na miundombinu yake vinazingatia viwango vya ubora. Shirika la Viwango Tanzania (TBS) lina jukumu la kuandaa na kupitia viwango vya bidhaa za petroli na miundombinu, ambapo, EWURA ni mdau mkuu katika suala hili. Viwango vikishaidhinishwa, EWURA huhakikisha waendeshaji wa shughuli za mkondo wa kati na wa chini wa sekta ya petroli, wanazingatia viwango vinavyopatikana kupitia tovuti ya TBS.
