Azura Power
Azura Power provides balancing power to national grids, catalysing renewable energy and industrial growth in Africa.
Our Footprint
We are an experienced energy producer building a world class, diversified portfolio of assets in Africa’s leading gas to power markets.
We focus on opportunities where we can add significant capacity to the national grid, developing gas-fired projects or those with the ability to convert to gas.
Our operating plants generate power at a total capacity of 576MW and our portfolio includes a further 804MW of generating capacity which is in development. Through the continued expansion and diversification of our portfolio, we are focused on building a pipeline of globally competitive development and acquisition opportunities.
We recognise the need to measure and optimise our impact. Strong ESG principles and practices lie at the heart of all decision-making and inform the design of every aspect of our business to ensure sustainability.
African economies need to create massive numbers of new jobs each year to match the pace of population growth and urbanisation.
Gas provides a reliable, cost-effective source of fuel for the level of power generation required to drive industrial growth and create jobs at scale. In addition, our plants provide important ancillary services to the grid, including frequency response and black start, which are critical to grids in developing economies that are often unstable, or where there is significant renewable generation.
By providing robust offtake agreements, we support African Governments to develop indigenous gas resources, create high quality industrial infrastructure and boost energy access and independence. This reduces reliance on costly imports, mitigates vulnerability to price shocks and generates significant revenues for nations under pressure to serve fast-growing societies.
By driving the emergence of new technologies, we are developing Africa’s future energy solutions today.

Our Projects
Tobene IPP - Senegal
The 115MW Tobene Power plant in Senegal, which was originally developed by Melec PowerGen Inc, began operations in 2016. In September 2019, the plant was acquired by Azura Power.
West Africa - Nigeria
Azura-Nova is our 100MW solar power plant, currently under development on a 200 hectare site in Katsina State, Nigeria.
West Africa – Senegal
In addition to our Tobene plant in Senegal, we are currently in the process of acquiring and developing two power plants with a combined generating capacity of 187MW.
Southern Africa – Mozambique
In December 2020, Azura signed an agreement with Sasol to purchase its interests in the 175MW gas fired CTRG project in Mozambique. CTRG began generating power in 2015, fuelled by gas from the Pande and Temane onshore fields, delivered via the ROMPCO pipeline. CTRG is one of the key suppliers of power to the capital city of Maputo.
