Central Horizon Gas Company Limited (CHGC), a subsidiary of Axxela Limited (Axxela), has recently commissioned an additional 5.1km natural gas pipeline infrastructure as part of its strategic expansion to better serve the growing energy demands of customers in Port Harcourt.

The company said the latest development underscores Axxela’s commitment to delivering cleaner, more reliable, and affordable energy solutions across South-South Nigeria.

Speaking on the milestone achieved by the company, the Managing Director of Axxela Gas Distribution, Mr. Kehinde Alabi, stated that the expansion is not just about building gas infrastructure but also powering progress. 

He stated that with the ongoing expansion running through Azikiwe to Reclamation Road in the Bundu-Ama community, CHGC has now increased its total pipeline network to 21km and successfully connected several new customers, including leading industrial giants from a diverse range of sectors, with access to piped natural gas.

He said: “For us at Axxela, every additional pipeline kilometer laid reinforces our commitment to fueling the growth of industries, promoting economic advancement, and enabling a sustainable energy future. Accessible and cost-effective energy access is critical to industrialisation, and we are proud to be championing and contributing actively.

 

“Axxela brings a strong track record of delivering critical gas infrastructure across Nigeria, often navigating complex terrains with innovation to deliver impact. 

 

“This same depth of expertise is now shaping the energy landscape in the South-South, where access to sustainable energy is essential for driving the region’s next phase of industrial development, he added.

 

“With the recent award of a 25-year gas distribution licence by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) to CHGC, the company is positioned to significantly expand its reach and provide increased access to piped natural gas to new customers in the Greater Port Harcourt Area and Gas Distribution Zone.
