The report highlights a planned US $245 billion expansion of gas infrastructure in Africa, primarily driven by European demand following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It argues that this focus on exports, particularly LNG and pipelines, undermines domestic energy needs and the transition to renewable energy. Significant funding gaps exist for proposed projects, and the report warns that these investments may become stranded assets as the global energy transition progresses.

• Planned gas infrastructure expansion in Africa, valued at US $245 billion, is largely driven by a short-term European need for natural gas following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which risks creating stranded assets and hindering investment in domestic energy and renewables.
• Investment in LNG export terminals is heavily prioritized over domestic energy production. Of the estimated US $103 billion capital cost for LNG terminals, 92% is allocated to export facilities, which are expected to increase regional export capacity by 79.3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa).
• There is a significant funding gap for planned gas pipelines. While the total funding required for planned pipelines is US $89 billion, only US $4 billion has been allocated to projects currently under construction, leaving US $85 billion for proposed projects.
• Investment in gas-fired power plants remains uneven and underfunded. Total planned investment is estimated at US $62 billion, but only US $9.7 billion is allocated to projects under construction, with US $52.3 billion for proposed projects. Nigeria and South Africa have the highest funding requirements at US $21.2 billion and US $16.3 billion respectively.
• Despite the expansion of gas infrastructure, electricity access remains low in key gas-producing nations: only 40% of the population in Tanzania, 51% in Nigeria, and 31% in Mozambique have access to electricity.
• Current operational gas power capacity in Africa is 109.2 GW, with Egypt being the largest user at 51,608 MW. While 64.2 GW of new capacity is being developed, only 10.5 GW are currently under construction.
