Natural gas company Tlou Energy has entered into a gas sales co-operation agreement with South Africa-based CNG Holdings to provide framework to sell gas for power generation to industrial customers in Botswana
Tony Gilby, managing director of Tlou Energy, said, “This is an important milestone for Tlou Energy in forming a partnership with CNG Holdings, which is currently supplying gas to industrial customers in South Africa where there is a substantial lack of access to natural gas due to pipeline network constraints.
“Together we are looking to replicate this success and business model in developing the gas market in Botswana. The partnership of Tlou Energy and CNG Holdings represents an exciting opportunity to commercialise gas in Botswana.”
According to both companies, they plan to target industrial users in Botswana that currently utilise imported fuels such as diesel or LPG. Tlou Energy will provide further details as binding agreements are finalised.
Tlou Energy supplies of gas to the existing 90MW Orapa Power Station in Botswana.
