Tetracore Energy Group says it unveiled a new auto compressed natural gas station in Uwusan, Benin, the Edo State capital, to boost gas-powered mobility and downstream gas distribution in Nigeria.
With an installed capacity of 120,000 standard cubic metres per day, the company said in a statement that the station can fuel up to 200 vehicles daily, improving fuel availability for mass transit systems, trucks, buses, and other commercial CNG-powered vehicles.
Strategically located to serve Benin City and surrounding industrial and logistics corridors, the facility reportedly forms part of the company’s expanding gas distribution network designed to meet rising demand across high-growth economic clusters.
The company stated that the development reinforces its strategy to build a scalable, corridor-based gas infrastructure platform anchored on high-demand urban and industrial clusters. It added that integrating daughter stations with the upcoming mother station capacity would enhance asset utilisation, strengthen supply reliability, and support predictable revenue generation.
According to the firm, the Benin axis represents a critical growth corridor with increasing demand from logistics operators, industrial users, and commercial fleets, positioning the asset for strong utilisation and long-term cash flow visibility.
The Uwusan station is expected to deliver lower and more predictable fuel costs, enhanced energy security through consistent gas supply, improved operational efficiency through accessible refuelling infrastructure, and alignment with decarbonisation goals.
The company disclosed that a dedicated CNG mother station for the Benin axis is under development and expected to come onstream in the coming months to strengthen compression capacity and improve network efficiency.
Speaking on the development, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tetracore Energy Group, Olakunle Williams, said, “This is a deliberate step in our strategy to scale gas-powered mobility across Nigeria. We are not simply deploying stations—we are building 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 company added that it remains committed to advancing Nigeria’s gas commercialisation agenda by delivering infrastructure that connects supply to demand and supports long-term energy sustainability.
