A consortium led by Ardova Plc and Diadem Energy, supported by A. P. Moller Capital and Impala Energy Holdings, has reached an agreement to acquire a 100% stake in Powergas. Powergas is a major African producer of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and operates the Ebedei flare gas monetisation project in Nigeria.

Following the acquisition, the consortium announced plans to establish 100 CNG refuelling sites across Nigeria over the next 24 months. This expansion aims to address refuelling shortages and increase gas accessibility for commercial fleets and motorists. The initiative seeks to integrate Powergas’s compression infrastructure with Diadem’s logistics and Ardova’s retail network, with long-term intentions to expand into the broader West African market.
