April 12, 2026. Tetracore Energy Group unveiled a new auto compressed natural gas (CNG) station in Uwusan, Benin, the Edo State capital, to boost CNG-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 utilization, 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 utilization 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 refueling infrastructure, and alignment with decarbonization goals.
