Supplying SONIDEP

A major supplier, supporting Niger and its people.

MEA Energy Niger is a major supplier to SONIDEP, the national petroleum products company of Niger. Our supply helps keep fuel flowing to the country and its people, from the capital to the regions that are hardest to reach.

Our close partnership brings together the Group’s trading desk in Dubai, product from the Nigerian coast and our own fleet. For SONIDEP, that means a supplier that plans ahead, sources product early and delivers on time, even when a corridor is slow. For Niger, it means continuous supply for homes, farms, hospitals, transport and industry.

  • Continuous supply

    Several routes to Niger, so supply does not depend on one corridor.

  • Our own fleet

    Trucks from 500 to 50,000 litres, dispatched the same day.

  • One reliable partner

    Sourcing, transport and delivery planned together with SONIDEP.

  • Built for the long term

    A partnership committed to Niger’s energy security.

Fuel supply

Refined petroleum products, such as diesel, petrol, kerosene, jet fuel and LPG, travel overland on MEA's own fleet. With the Group's Nigerian trucking and supply capability behind it, the fleet gives inland customers a reliable source of fuel, and gives suppliers an outlet into markets that are hard to reach directly.

Supply corridor

How product reaches Niger.

Niger imports much of its refined fuel, and it arrives along several corridors. Today the main one runs through Nigeria, because the Dangote Refinery now supplies product close to the border. Cotonou in Benin and Lomé in Togo are further routes from the coast. MEA sources the product, lands it through these corridors and carries it on its own fleet, so inland customers have a reliable source of all refined products.

Niger uses ~3.2 million litres of Oil products a day, rising to ~4.3 million in ten years and 5.0 million in fifteen. Our approach is simple: supply and carry contracts through the corridors, trade surplus product into Sahel markets with our own fleet, and take Zimar refinery offtake over the long term.

Planned stations

A planned network of over 50 stations.

MEA plans a network of more than 50 stations across Niger. They will be data-driven, with sensors, digital payment and analytics, and built to the same standard as the Nigerian network: honest measure, quality-assured product, clean and safe forecourts and trained local teams. Station sites, dealer enquiries and local hiring will be announced here.

Technical and energy services

Practical support for industry and government.

Fuel is only part of it. MEA Energy Niger can bring in the Group's technical teams in Nigeria and Dubai to help industrial customers and government plan their energy supply.

  • Fuel supply planning

    How much of each product does a business, mine, utility or ministry need, and when? We work out the answer, and the best route and storage to supply it reliably.

  • Storage and station studies

    Site selection, sizing and design for fuel depots, storage tanks and service stations, built to the Group's own standard.

  • Power and Gas options

    Studies on solar power-as-a-service, generators and LPG or CNG as lower-cost alternatives to diesel for sites and industry.

  • Safety and quality

    Health, safety and environment audits, product-quality checks and training for fuel handling, depots and fleets.

Fuel Niger can count on

Planned storage, our own trucks and over 50 stations across the country.

Our vision in Niger is to develop storage across the country and to build a network of more than 50 stations that reaches every region. Storage close to demand, our own fleet and our own stations together give Niger a reliable, local source of fuel, and a base for supplying the wider Sahel.

  • Planned storage across Niger.
  • More than 50 stations across the country.
  • Reliable supply by our own fleet from Niamey.
