Tanga, Lamu and Hoima emerge as rival energy hubs
Original: oil refinery
Tanga in Tanzania, Lamu in Kenya and Hoima in Uganda are competing to become East Africa's main energy hubs. Each port city is tied to major oil infrastructure plans, including refinery and pipeline projects linked to the region's crude exports, as Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda jostle for a central role in the region's growing petroleum trade.
Why now: Competition among the three East African cities over oil refinery and pipeline projects is drawing renewed attention to regional energy politics.
