The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) has denied reports of diesel crisis in the country , stating that the country has sufficient diesel stocks. As of December 2, 2025, the country has 150.2 million liters of diesel, with 47.72 million liters stored at the Ndola Fuel Depot and 102.48 million liters held at the Kigamboni Tank Farm in Tanzania. This is according to a press statement released to the media by ERB Public Relations Manager, Namukolo Kasumpa.
Mrs Kasumpa said ERB attributes intermittent supply patterns in certain locations to logistical and distributional challenges, including scheduling delays, transportation constraints, and temporary depot-level congestion. She added such issues are normal in fuel supply systems worldwide and are being addressed promptly. Mrs Kasumpa further said that ERB has assured the public that intervention measures are always activated to ensure market stability and protect consumers from undue inconvenience. “The board urges the public to rely on verified and credible sources for fuel related information and to follow official ERB updates,” she added.
