He added that whilst BUA already utilizes gas as a major energy source across its over 1,000MW captive power plants for its operations across Nigeria, the mini LNG project upon completion, will enhance all-year availability of cleaner energy and support BUA Group’s growing industrial power demands.
“We are excited about the prospects of this project and look forward to a fruitful collaboration with CIMC ENRIC and Axxela,” he added.
The agreement was signed by management representatives of BUA Group, CMIC ENRIC and Axxela Group, underscoring the project’s anticipated impact on the regional energy landscape in line with the Nigerian Government’s push to diversify its energy commitments.
BUA Group remains committed to investing in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure that benefits, not only its operations, but also the communities it serves.
BUA Group emerged last week as MoneyCentral’s most impactful Conglomerate of the Year.
