GABCON and Amara Energy Company have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) marking an important step towards strengthening Botswana’s energy and logistics infrastructure.
The partnership will facilitate the development of a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage and distribution depot on land within the GABCON Terminal. The project which is at a feasibility study stage will contribute to GABCON’s strategy to diversify its business, maximize the value of its assets, and identify new opportunities that contribute to national economic development.
Through the partnership, GABCON will put its existing land and infrastructure to productive use while expanding its role as an integrated logistics and infrastructure partner. The planned LPG depot is expected to enhance energy distribution capacity and support Botswana’s efforts to strengthen energy security and access to cleaner energy.
The investment is also anticipated to generate wider economic benefits through infrastructure development, job creation, skills transfer and increased private-sector participation. By strengthening logistics and distribution capabilities, the project will support Botswana’s ambition to position itself as a regional logistics and distribution hub.
For GABCON, the partnership demonstrates the potential of strategic collaboration to unlock new revenue streams, improve asset productivity and create sustainable value for the business, the economy and the communities it serves.
GABCON and Amara Energy share a commitment to excellence, innovation and sustainable growth, providing a strong foundation for a long-term partnership. Both organizations emphasized that the signing represents the beginning of a journey, with the success of the MoU ultimately measured by effective implementation and the impact of the project.
The signing also reflects confidence in Botswana’s economic future and the role that responsible investment and strategic partnerships can play in building a stronger and more resilient economy.
GABCON reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with Amara Energy to deliver the objectives of the partnership and contribute meaningfully to Botswana’s economic growth and development.
