Tanzania’s energy-industry regulator suspended British Petroleum Tanzania Ltd.’s wholesale license for three months amid a fuel shortage the authority says has been caused by suppliers disgruntled with lower prices.
BP retailers in the East African country will be allowed to continue supplying to motorists as long as they source fuel from other wholesalers, Haruna Masebu, director-general of the Energy and Water Utilities Authority, said in an interview today. BP will also be able to continue supplying fuel to the aviation industry, it said.
