Powering Progress with Clean, Reliable LNG Solutions for Africa’s Future
Anchor Energy LNG, a subsidiary of Anchor Energy Holdings, was founded in 2015 to focus on the acquisition, transport, and storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG). As part of a privately-held South Africa-based energy group, our mission is to lead LNG initiatives that fuel power generation and provide sustainable energy solutions across the region. Our operations include LNG infrastructure development, natural gas exploration, and electricity generation, with projects both in South Africa and elsewhere in Africa.
What we do
Engineering Design
Our technical team delivers innovative and efficient engineering solutions for LNG infrastructure, power generation, and energy distribution. We focus on high-performance designs that are sustainable, scalable, and adaptable to meet evolving industry needs.
LNG Supply & Storage
We specialise in the secure acquisition, transportation, and storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), ensuring reliable and cost-effective energy supply for diverse power generation needs across Africa.
Power Generation Solutions
We develop integrated gas-to-power projects that provide clean, reliable electricity to underserved regions. Our solutions are designed to enhance energy security while minimising environmental impact.
Environmental & Regulatory Compliance
We prioritise environmental stewardship by conducting thorough impact assessments and ensuring all our projects meet South African and international regulatory standards for sustainable energy development.
Environmental Impact Assessment
We conduct comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) to ensure that all our projects align with environmental regulations and best practices. Our goal is to minimise ecological footprints while maximising energy efficiency and sustainability.
Project Development & Management
From concept to completion, we manage every phase of our energy projects. Our experienced team oversees planning, execution, and operation, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
A project for the country
Anchor Energy LNG (Pty) Ltd, a South African liquefied natural gas (LNG) trading and development company, is committed to building a transformative energy project which will reshape South Africa’s economic landscape.
Innovation
The integrated design of a 15 million tonnes per year LNG terminal, coupled with a 6 500 MW gas power station, will be capable of supplying both gas and electricity to address South Africa’s energy trilemma.
By investing in primary infrastructure, Anchor Energy has facilitated development of novel approaches to address the industrial gas needs post ROMPCO.
The Anchor Energy Rail "Virtual Pipeline" Concept is set to unlock hidden opportunities to address the need for pipeline gas in the hinterland of South Africa.
Problem solving
The dual-marine project, located in the Port of Richards Bay, will be capable of addressing South Africa’s total energy demand following the phasing out of the ROMCO gas supply from Mozambique. It furthermore has the potential to facilitate the re-purposing of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations scheduled for closure from 2030 onwards.
Cost to taxpayer
This project, predicated on private investment aligned with the principle of “Public – Private Partnership” demonstrates how projects of this maginitude and complexity can be achieved without negatively impacting either the South African taxpayer or the Fiscus.

Benefits for South Africa
By addressing energy security, energy availability and energy services in an affordable and sustainable manner, the Richards Bay LNG terminal and power plant promise substantial economic benefits:
- Immediate relief from the threat of load shedding or reduction by providing 6 500 MW of reliable power at full capacity
- Delivery of natural gas onshore to South Africa within 40 months thereby addressing and potentially alleviating the looming gas cliff threatening industries and households
- Facilitating industrial growth as a result of security of energy supply
- Laying the foundation for foreign direct investment through the establishment of increased confidence in sustainable energy supply
- Skills development to enhance employability, and technology transfer for the benefit of society
- Employment opportunities by creating thousands of new jobs during construction and operations

Environmental Impact
The Anchor Energy LNG project site in Richards Bay received environmental authorisation in February 2024 following a four-year environmental impact assessment (EIA) and public participation process. The result is a multi-billion dollar project with the smallest environmental footprint achievable.
Mangroves, the Kabeljous Flats the sandspit and endangered avifauna were among the important environmental sensitivities taken into account during the EIA process. The Kabeljous Flats are an important estuarine and marine species breeding areas, the sandspit provides habitat for birds, including migratory species, while the extensive mangrove forests constitute a highly sensitive biodiversity feature.
Potential adverse environmental impacts were engineered out of the design of the Anchor Energy LNG and Nseleni Integrated Floating Power Plant (NIFPP) project during the EIA process in order to ensure the least possible adverse impact on the environment in and around the Richards Bay harbour.
