The expanded provision and use of energy services is strongly associated with sustainable economic development and growth. the johannesburg summit on sustainable development (2002) explicitly recognised the privileged place of energy in the construction of a durable human development. In order to fulfil the objective of economic growth, which is the basis of economic and social development, it is necessary to have access, at affordable prices, to abundant and diverse energy forms, primarily commercial, which feed into the economic grid. a common policy objective is to make the required energy available to economic agents at best cost. as economies develop, energy consumption initially grows more or less in parallel to economic growth. an adequate, secure and affordable energy supply is thus needed as a contributor to economic development.

It is primarily against this background that ETL Consulting (Pty) Ltd (Botswana) having secured investment in the amount of 11.2 Billion US dollars has embarked on this mega energy project in Botswana comprising the development of various strategic energy and fuel (petro) based operations together with associated infrastructural and community support projects at named sites in the country.
