SUNAGAS

What SUNAGAS does

SUNAGAS is a privately-held Sudanese integrated energy company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Khartoum. The company develops and operates three interconnected lines of business: (1) an LNG receiving and regasification terminal with associated distribution grid, intended to supply natural gas to thermal power plants and heavy industry in the Eastern African region; (2) thermal and renewable power generation (solar parks and wind farms) developed under Power Purchase Agreement models; and (3) oil and gas Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) services spanning upstream, midstream and downstream operations. Operations are delivered through three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Alwatania Energy and Engineering Company (1,000 MW of thermal and solar power plant projects), Yarmouk Industrial Services Company Limited (YISCO, acquired in 2022, with over 20 years of oil and gas services experience), and Modern Tech Electronics (energy, utilities, e-payment and IT services).

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large industrial clients including thermal power plants, cement factories, and heavy industry, with direct engagement of government ministries for infrastructure concessions and EPC contractors for project execution. Commercial foundations for the LNG terminal include a 2018 lease agreement with Sudan Ports Authority for the Port Sudan LNG Receiving Terminal and a 2018 long-term framework agreement with the Ministry of Finance for gas supply to power plants. Pricing is quote-based and tied to individual project scope and capacity requirements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue mechanics span managed services (LNG infrastructure and power generation) and professional services (EPCC contracts). The company positions itself as a regional energy backbone candidate at the crossroads of sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.
