Tetracore Energy Group Secures the First Power Generation and Distribution Licences in Nasarawa State, Advances Gas-to-Power Expansion Strategy

Tetracore Energy Group (TEG), an integrated energy company delivering natural gas, power, and sustainable energy solutions across Nigeria and Africa, has announced a major milestone in its expansion across Nigeria’s gas-to-power value chain with the formal award of preliminary electricity generation and distribution licences from the Nasarawa State Electricity Regulatory Commission.

The licences were formally presented to Tetracore Energy Group’s President & CEO, Olakunle Williams, by the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, during the second day of the Nasarawa Investment Summit 2026 themed “Bold Transitions: Building a Legacy for Sustainable Futures.” The summit, held from May 6–7 in Lafia, convened government and private sector leaders to advance investment opportunities and infrastructure development across the State.

During the presentation, Governor Abdullahi Sule stated that Tetracore Energy Group had already commenced preliminary project development activities, underscoring the State Government’s confidence in the company’s execution capacity and long-term commitment to Nasarawa’s industrial and energy transformation agenda.

The newly acquired licences position Tetracore to accelerate the development of a gas-fired Independent Power Project (IPP) designed to support rising industrial and commercial electricity demand across Nasarawa’s key economic corridors. The project reflects the company’s integrated approach to energy delivery, combining gas supply, power generation, and distribution to unlock industrial growth and improve energy reliability.

The development also builds on the momentum of Tetracore’s recently commissioned Phase I of its 100MW gas-fired Independent Power Project at Atakabo in Ogun State, further strengthening the company’s growing footprint in Nigeria’s evolving gas-to-power sector.

The Nasarawa Independent Power Project will be delivered in phases, beginning with Phase I, which comprises 60MW of generation capacity. The plant has been designed with scalability in mind and is expected to expand to between 120MW and 150MW in response to growing demand across the Nasarawa–Toto, Awe–Obi, and Akwanga–Karu–Keffi corridors. This phased approach ensures that capacity growth remains aligned with industrial uptake, optimizing both investment efficiency and long-term sustainability.

In parallel with generation, Tetracore will deploy critical transmission and distribution infrastructure to ensure efficient delivery of power to end users. The Phase I rollout includes approximately 120 km of distribution infrastructure, structured around a 162 km 33kV network designed to serve as the backbone for reliable electricity supply across targeted industrial and commercial clusters. The infrastructure is expected to significantly improve access to stable power, enabling businesses to reduce reliance on diesel generation and lower operating costs.

Further reinforcing its long-term commitment to the State, Tetracore announced the signing of a landmark Head of Terms agreement with the Nasarawa Investment and Development Agency and the Nasarawa State Government to support the development, implementation, and utilization of the State’s Gas Master Plan. The partnership outlines a phased, market-driven approach to power delivery and infrastructure development designed to accelerate impact while managing capital deployment efficiently. The initiative also aligns with Governor Abdullahi Sule’s vision for gas-led industrialization and positioning Nasarawa as a strategic energy and industrial hub along the AKK corridor.

Speaking at the summit, Tetracore’s President & CEO, Olakunle Williams, emphasized that the combination of gas supply and embedded power generation represents a practical pathway to industrialization. By aligning gas infrastructure with power delivery, the company aims to create a reliable energy ecosystem capable of supporting mining, agro-processing, manufacturing, and broader industrial development across Nasarawa State.

The agreements reached at the Nasarawa Investment Summit 2026 mark a significant step toward translating the State’s energy strategy into executable projects. With regulatory approvals secured and strategic partnerships in place, Tetracore Energy Group is positioned to move rapidly from planning to execution, contributing to economic growth, job creation, and long-term energy security in Nasarawa State.
