Renaissance Africa Energy Company has taken a giant stride in resolving the global potential energy mix shortage by unlocking gas opportunities to power industries, communities, and sustainable growth across the continent.
This defining global strategic energy moment was unveiled by Renaissance CEO Tony Attah at the ongoing Africa CEO Forum Annual Summit in Kigali, Rwanda, during the panel session “From Gas to Kilowatt: Can Africa’s Gas Boom Power Africa?”
Engr. Attah in his speech, stated that the Renaissance has currently met its gas export obligation to Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, by achieving its ambition target for 2BCF by 2030, behind schedule, as the company currently supplies NLNG 2.2BCF of gas as of January 2026.
In contrast to this unprecedented feat achieved by the Renaissance in export space, the domestic gas supply, which currently stands below 200 million SCUF, is not reciprocated within the same trend of success as has been witnessed in the export space, which he traced to an age-long unresolved bureaucratic bottleneck between the off-takers and producers.
“It is very important to underpin what we are doing in the export space, and so also set an ambition for 2BCF by 2030 to supply gas to NLNG, but as of January this year, we are supplying 2.2 bcf export, and what supplies to domestic is under 200 million SCUF, so you can see the huge delta,” Engr. Attah said
“The narrative from the Renaissance point of view is trying to break old paradigms. So, what takes to happen in the domestic space is that the off-takers are saying ‘where is the gas’ and producers are saying ‘Where is the contract’ and that chain has gone on for too long,’ He narrated
On how to proffer a solution to this domestic gas supply chain disconnect between the off- takers and the producers, Engr. Attah said that Renaissance will serve as a nexus in restoring confidence and guarantee along the supply value to ensure that the 1bcf target is achieved.
“We are trying to fix ourselves as a nexus between the off-takers and the producers to the extent that we will make it happen, and that is the risk we are willing to take to position ourselves as a Renaissance.
“This ensures confidence for both the off-taker and guarantees to the producer; this is how 1bcf can happen. The need and demand are there, the gas is there, but what is always missing is the renaissance, and we are here now.” Attah posited.
According to information available with NUPRC, Nigeria’s gas production in 2025 averaged approximately 7.5 to 7.59 billion standard cubic feet per day (BSCFD). This marks an increase from about 6.8–6.91 billion cubic feet per day in 2023, driven by strengthened collaboration among stakeholders and improved, targeted investments in the sector
