Trans-Saharan pipeline to expand African gas exports
The Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline Project (TSGP), which connects Nigeria to Algeria via Niger, entered its actual implementation phase in 2026 with the commencement of the Algerian portion of the project. The pipeline, approximately 4,130 kilometers long, stretches from gas production areas in Nigeria to Hassi R'Mel in Algeria, aiming to transport between 20 and 30 billion cubic meters of gas annually to European and international markets. The project is part of efforts to strengthen energy integration across Africa, supporting Algeria's role as an energy hub and enhancing its export capabilities. Additionally, it aims to reinforce Niger's role as a transit country and is expected to contribute to economic development and investment opportunities across the region. Work on the Algerian segment began after the final study was approved in June 2026, with construction starting in Oulf, Aoulef Province, in Adrar, marking a transition from the planning stage to actual implementation.
