Vitol Group is participating in a consortium for a $3 billion gas-to-power project in South Africa, which seeks to replace aging coal-fired power stations. The project will involve importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and generating at least 1,000 megawatts of capacity.

Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power Co. may be involved as a developer specializing in gas turbines. The initiative has received Strategic Integrated Project status from Infrastructure South Africa, facilitating faster construction processes. South Africa aims to transition from coal to renewable energy and gas, with LNG primarily imported from Mozambique.
