Project set to anchor LNG ambitions

A gas-to-power project under development is set to become a significant addition to South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP), delivering much-needed dispatchable capacity and laying the groundwork for a viable liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. This potential project is being spearheaded through a collaboration between gas trader Spring Lights Gas (SLG) and engineering consultancy Alpenglow Consulting. They are developing a gas-fired facility, complete with supporting infrastructure and grid connection to help South Africa “keep its lights on”.
