Tetracore Energy Expands Gas Infrastructure with New Benin City CNG Station
Tetracore Energy Group has officially commissioned a new Auto Compressed Natural Gas station in the Uwusan area of Benin City, Edo State, marking a significant expansion of Nigeria's gas-powered mobility infrastructure. This strategic development strengthens the company's position as a leading provider in downstream gas distribution and sustainable transport solutions across the nation.
Enhanced Capacity and Strategic Location
The newly opened facility boasts an impressive installed capacity of 120,000 standard cubic meters per day, enabling it to service approximately 200 vehicles daily. This substantial capacity addresses growing fuel demands from mass transit systems, commercial trucks, buses, and various CNG-powered vehicles operating within Benin City and surrounding industrial corridors.
Strategically positioned to serve Benin City's expanding industrial and logistics zones, the station functions as a crucial node within Tetracore's developing gas distribution network. This placement aligns with the company's corridor-based infrastructure strategy, targeting high-growth economic clusters with strong volume potential and repeatable deployment economics.
Integrated Distribution Model and Future Expansion
Tetracore Energy is implementing a vertically integrated distribution approach that combines daughter stations with upcoming mother station capacity. This capital-efficient model enhances asset utilization, improves supply reliability, and supports predictable revenue generation while advancing Nigeria's gas commercialization agenda.
The company has confirmed that a dedicated CNG Mother Station for the Benin axis is currently under development and expected to become operational in the coming months. This additional infrastructure will further strengthen compression capacity, enhance supply reliability, and improve overall network efficiency, creating a fully integrated gas supply ecosystem for the region.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
For fleet operators and industrial users, the Uwusan station delivers multiple advantages:
- Cost Efficiency: Lower and more predictable fuel costs compared to conventional petroleum products
- Energy Security: Consistent and reliable gas supply for uninterrupted operations
- Operational Improvement: Accessible refueling infrastructure that enhances efficiency
- Sustainability Alignment: Support for decarbonization goals and Nigeria's evolving energy regulations
Leadership Perspective and Strategic Vision
Dr. Olakunle Williams, President and CEO of Tetracore Energy Group, emphasized the strategic importance of this development: "This represents a deliberate step in our strategy to scale gas-powered mobility across Nigeria. We are building more than just stations—we are creating a resilient energy network that enables industries, transport operators, and businesses to transition to cleaner, more efficient fuel at scale. With the upcoming mother station, we are reinforcing supply assurance and positioning Benin as a critical node within our expanding gas distribution footprint."
The Benin axis has been identified as a critical growth corridor with increasing demand from logistics operators, industrial users, and commercial fleets. This positions the new asset for strong utilization and long-term cash flow visibility as Tetracore continues to expand its operational footprint.
Building on its proven execution track record, which includes high-performing CNG assets across Ogun State, Tetracore Energy Group remains committed to advancing Nigeria's energy sustainability through infrastructure development that connects supply to demand, drives industrial productivity, and supports the nation's transition to cleaner energy sources.
