Approvisionnement du Sénégal en Gaz depuis GTA : Kosmos fait le point sur les derniers développements
“For 2026, we don’t want to source nine shipments from far away when gas is produced right here. We want to get our supply right here.” This was Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko’s statement in August 2025. Today, things seem to be moving in the direction he hopes.
Indeed, at the end of 2025, Kosmos Energy had already announced that with Senegal, "an agreement in principle for domestic gas sales is expected in 2026." In its report for the first quarter of 2026, published this Tuesday, the company operating the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim gas field in Senegal and Mauritania reiterates the same announcement.
It reports that the various stakeholders in the project intend to leverage the existing infrastructure for gas sales to the domestic markets of Senegal and Mauritania. Kosmos adds that Senegal has begun construction of an onshore power plant near Saint-Louis and is expected to launch construction of the gas pipeline network around the middle of the year.
"This network will transport gas from the GTA terminal to the coast for domestic electricity production," the gas company said in its report.
Last Sunday, the Senegalese Minister of Petroleum, Birame Souleye Diop, announced that the authorities are continuing negotiations for the supply of gas to the country through the Grand Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) project.
In August 2026, while meeting with business leaders at the Prime Minister's office, he indicated that supplying the country with electricity from the GTA (Gas de Transport d'Aquitaine) would have significant consequences for the price per kilowatt-hour for both production and households. He stated that the resulting savings would amount to at least 143 billion.
