Senegal is emerging as a continental leader in gas-to-power, combining innovative models with flexible project delivery to meet rapidly growing electricity demand, among the fastest globally at 9–10 per cent annually.

In July 2025, the country launched Africa’s first unsubsidised LNG-to-power project, showcasing floating powerships as a faster, cost-effective complement to renewables.

Strategic decentralisation and gas integration aim to lower electricity costs, while rigorous technical planning ensures sustainability.

Experts highlight gas-to-power as affordable, tested, and a key transition from diesel and coal, cutting carbon emissions by roughly 50 per cent and paving the way for future hydrogen integration across industries.
