Tetracore Energy Group, a leading integrated energy company, is set to launch Ghana’s first virtual gas pipeline network and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) mother station before the end of the fourth quarter.
The company indicated that all the necessary licenses to supply natural gas through the West African Gas Pipeline (WAGP) Network have been secured, marking a significant stride in Ghana’s energy sector.
The establishment of the CNG Mother Station in Ghana will be a replication of Tetracore Energy’s successful efforts in Nigeria, as they recently commissioned a 6.2MMscfd CNG Facility in the South-West Region of Nigeria, while breaking ground for their 10MMscfd Small Scale LNG project.
This facility will complement the country’s continued efforts to provide a cleaner, more cost-effective alternative to traditional fuels, enabling industries to reduce their carbon footprint while significantly enhancing efficiency, a move which aligns perfectly with Ghana’s aspirations for sustainable development.
Tetracore Energy’s influence extends beyond industrial applications as they also play a crucial role in Ghana’s power generation landscape.
As a Licensed Shipper on the WAGP Network, Tetracore Energy is positioned to enhance gas supply, contributing to providing energy security and stability in the country.
Chief Executive Officer of Tetracore Energy Group, Olakunle Williams, said, “Our diverse portfolio allows us to offer tailored solutions across the entire energy value chain. Our adaptability and customer-centric approach make us an ideal partner for addressing Africa’s varied energy needs.
“We are set up to provide a wide range of services, including natural gas distribution, CNG solutions, gas-to-power solutions, and renewable energy initiatives. This holistic approach enables us to contribute significantly to addressing energy challenges at multiple levels”.
He said Tetracore Energy’s investment in Ghana goes far beyond infrastructure development as they are also committed to nurturing local talent and expertise.
Building on the success of their graduate management training programnme, he said Tetracore Energy is actively working to establish a comprehensive energy training programme in Ghana and beyond to ensure the transfer of knowledge and local capacity development within the sector.
“This initiative aims to equip Ghanaian youths with the skills necessary to drive the energy sector forward. As a key player in the West African energy market, Tetracore Energy actively promotes inter-African trade and regional energy cooperation,” the company said. “This aligns with initiatives such as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), supporting infrastructure development and energy security across the continent.”
The presence of Tetracore Energy in Ghana and other West African countries underscores its commitment to creating an integrated regional energy market, crucial for sustainable economic growth.
Tetracore Energy’s ongoing investments promise to bring increasingly reliable, affordable, and cleaner energy solutions to Ghana, powering progress and prosperity in the future.
As Ghana advances its energy sector, Tetracore Energy has expressed its commitment to supporting the nation’s ambitions. With their expertise, experience, and commitment to sustainability, Tetracore Energy is set to play an even more pivotal role in Ghana’s energy landscape.
Thus, as Tetracore Energy deepens its roots in Ghana, it invites local industries, policymakers, and communities to join in its vision of a sustainable, energy-secure future, setting a model for sustainable development across Africa.
