Guinea Lawmakers Approve WA-LNG Group $3 Billion Gas Project

Lawmakers in Guinea’s transition administration approved an agreement signed last year between the government and West Africa LNG Group, paving the way for a potential $3 billion investment in liquefied natural gas import infrastructure.

West Africa LNG, or WA-LNG, is proposing to build an LNG terminal at the port of Kamsar as part of efforts to spur the development of Guinea’s mining industry. Plans also include construction of a 1,800-megawatt gas-fired plant to power proposed alumina refineries, Energy and Hydrocarbons Minister Aboubacar Camara said in a speech in parliament.
