Gabon is advancing its energy infrastructure with the Moanda Gas Filling Center project.
Construction is progressing well, with the Gabonese Petroleum Products Storage Company confirming key milestones on July 23, 2026. The project, backed by an investment of 11 billion FCFA, aims to improve access to butane gas in several provinces.
Moanda Gas Filling Center Construction Milestones
The Moanda Gas Filling Center is strategically located in southeastern Gabon. Recent inspections confirmed the installation of liquefied petroleum gas reservoirs and the completion of the storage platform. Preparations for the firewall in the unloading zone are also underway, indicating adherence to the construction schedule.
This center is crucial for enhancing the supply of butane gas in Haut-Ogooué, Ogooué-Lolo, and Ogooué-Ivindo provinces. Its operationalization is expected to significantly improve local access to domestic gas, thereby enhancing living conditions for residents.
Investment and Government Commitment
The project represents a significant investment of 11 billion FCFA from the SGEPP. President Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema’s commitment to this initiative highlights the government’s focus on modernizing energy infrastructure. This development is expected to create both direct and indirect employment opportunities, bolstering the local economy.
Next Steps for Moanda Gas Filling Center
- Completion of construction and operationalization of the center.
- Evaluation of infrastructure quality and functionality.
- Implementation of services to meet local gas demand.
The Moanda Gas Filling Center is set to transform energy distribution in Gabon.
