Revenue model

1. Power Generation Sales: Revenue from electricity generation sold to mining companies and industrial customers under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs). PPAs typically span 20+ years with contracted capacity commitments. Base load generation model providing reliable power to mining operations.
2. Natural Gas Transportation: Pipeline capacity fees charged to power producers, industrial facilities, and national oil companies for transporting natural gas through Genser's private pipeline network. Volume-based transportation charges.
3. Gas Processing and NGL Sales: Processing fees from third-party gas producers (toll processing) plus direct sales of natural gas liquids (propane, butane, ethane) to domestic and international markets. Revenue from industrial gas products.
4. Terminal and Logistics Services: Storage, handling, and export logistics services at Takoradi NGL Export Terminal for third-party NGL producers and traders.

Core offering

Genser Energy operates an integrated gas-to-power platform that generates electricity from natural gas for sale to mining and industrial customers under long-term Power Purchase Agreements, while also owning and operating 430+ km of natural gas pipelines, a 200 MMscfd Gas Conditioning Plant, and an NGL export terminal. The company is Ghana's largest private owner of natural gas pipelines and supplies baseload power to multinational gold miners and West African utilities under 20+ year contracts.

Product overview

Genser Energy is an integrated energy infrastructure company offering a platform of three core products: Power Generation (310+ MW installed capacity across five operating plants in Ghana), Natural Gas Transportation (436+ km pipeline network), and Gas Processing (Prestea Gas Conditioning Plant and Takoradi NGL Export Terminal with 200 MMscfd processing capacity). The platform integrates power plants (GP Tarkwa, GP Damang, GP Chirano, GP Edikan, GP Wassa) with gas midstream infrastructure (pipeline network, GCP, TNET) to deliver reliable electricity to mining operations, industrial customers, and utilities across Ghana and West Africa. Additional offerings include wind development, industrial training programs, and graduate development initiatives.
