For over two decades, piped gas trader SLG has built a reputation as a forward-thinking leader in South Africa’s energy sector. As the company marks 23 years of operation, it leverages this experience to drive initiatives that promote energy security and stability across the country.

Energy security remains a pressing issue for South Africa. With a growing population and an economy that depends on a reliable and affordable energy supply, disruptions in the energy chain can have widespread consequences, from slowing economic growth to impacting industries and everyday life. Recognising these challenges, SLG is committed to developing solutions that mitigate risks and ensure continuity.

A key element of SLG’s strategy is the role of gas in the country’s energy mix. As a cleaner and more efficient alternative to traditional fossil fuels, gas forms the cornerstone of SLG’s vision. The company’s investments in energy delivery to industries aim to improve supply chain efficiency, support economic growth, and reduce environmental impact. Additionally, SLG is actively exploring opportunities in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) aggregation and other emerging gas technologies. These investments diversify the energy portfolio and position SLG as a leader in the transition towards a more sustainable energy model.

SLG also remains focused on Independent Power Production initiatives. While gas continues to play a critical role in the energy landscape, SLG’s strategy is centred on leveraging LNG and gas-to-power solutions to enhance energy security and sustainability. A vital pillar of SLG’s approach is collaboration. In an industry where technology, policy and market dynamics intersect, strategic partnerships are essential. SLG has consistently worked with industry stakeholders, regulatory bodies, and even competitors to advance initiatives that strengthen the sector. The company also actively participates in industry events, webinars and panel discussions, using these platforms to share insights, influence policy, and help shape the future of South Africa’s energy landscape.

As SLG’s energy focus evolves, its core mission remains clear: to secure a reliable and sustainable energy supply for South Africa. With a strong track record in gas, a commitment to innovation, and strategic collaborations, SLG is well-positioned to address the country’s energy challenges head-on.

In an era of rapid energy transformation and increasing demand, SLG’s vision for energy security is both timely and essential.  With unwavering commitment to progress, SLG is not just preparing for the future, but actively shaping it.
