Gas to Power Solutions
Aggreko delivers gas to power solutions using LNG, CNG and LPG for mining, oil and gas, data centres, and manufacturing across Africa. Speak to our team.
Reliable, Lower-Emission Energy for a Changing World
Aggreko delivers modular gas power solutions that help businesses across Africa achieve reliable, cleaner energy.
Our gas to power solutions use natural gas, LNG (liquefied natural gas), CNG (compressed natural gas), and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), and flare gas to power to provide power that is flexible, scalable, and aligned with sustainability goals.
As industries reduce reliance on diesel and other carbon-intensive fuels, gas offers a practical transition pathway, lowering emissions today while supporting the growth of renewables.
How gas supports the Energy Transition
Natural gas plays an essential role in Africa’s energy mix. It bridges traditional and renewable power sources by providing dependable, lower-emission generation.
Key benefits of Aggreko’s gas technology:
- Up to 40% fewer CO₂ emissions than coal and 30% fewer than oil.
- Hybrid capability, integrating with solar, battery energy storage, and heat recovery systems.
- Fast deployment and scalability, supporting temporary or long-term power needs.
- Higher efficiency and reduced fuel costs, through modular, optimised designs.
Gas is not a stopgap, it’s a critical enabler for consistent, cleaner power during the energy transition.
Gas power for mining, oil and gas, and manufacturing
Aggreko supports gas-to-power projects across three sectors driving demand for this solution in South Africa.
In mining, Aggreko has powered remote operations across Africa for decades, delivering modular gas and hybrid solutions that keep sites productive where grid supply is limited or unreliable. From exploration to full production, our power scales with the mine's needs.
In oil and gas, Aggreko turns excess flare gas to reliable on-site power, supporting operations from construction and commissioning through to early production, without the upfront cost of a permanent plant.
In manufacturing, Aggreko supports industry across more than 25 African countries with thermal, hybrid and microgrid power that keeps production lines running through grid instability and demand peaks.

Planning your gas-to-power project
Every gas-to-power project starts with an assessment of your site, grid conditions and energy goals. Aggreko's team helps you understand challenges like grid instability, emissions targets or an Integrated Resource Plan, then designs a solution engineered for your site.
From there, Aggreko offers contracting models to suit different timelines and risk appetites: short-term hire, IPP agreements, and Build, Own, Operate, Transfer or Build, Own, Operate, Maintain arrangements for longer-term infrastructure.
Once live, Aggreko manages the project end-to-end, installation, maintenance and 24/7 technical support through local and regional service hubs, so customers don't need separate contractors at each stage.
