Tanzania is installing a 542-km gas pipeline from Mnazi Bay and Songo Songo to Dar es Salaam (Fig. 4). The pipeline, with a 36-in. OD trunk and 24 in. spur, will transport 784 MMcfd to Kinyerezi 1 power plant. China National Pipeline Bureau is building the line and expects it to enter service in December. As of November 2013 more than 140 km of the trunkline had been laid, with the balance of pipe lay expected to be completed in July.

National Oil Co. Kenya and Indian Oil Corp. are building a 14-in. OD, 352-km products pipeline from an interconnect with an existing line in Eldoret, Kenya, to Kampala, Uganda, and eventually to Rwanda. The countries expect the project to be complete by 2017, with bid evaluation for the Eldoret-Kampala leg underway in October 2013.
