The Songo Songo gas to electricity project was the first of its kind in Tanzania and wider East Africa. Conceived by the Government of Tanzania, following thorough economic evaluation and extensive contract negotiations, spanning a decade. PanAfrican Energy signed a Production Sharing Agreement with the Government of Tanzania in 2001 and immediately embarked on an intensive period of construction that saw first gas delivered to Dar es Salaam in 2004.

By July 2004 the Ubungo Power Plant was connected to the gas pipeline and for the first time, power was generated in Tanzania using a gas fired turbine generator.
