The electricity shortfalls in South Africa and the recent price increase have highlighted the requirement of diversifying the energy mix of the country. In April 2021, the Ministry of Mineral Resources and Energy of South Africa published an LPG rollout strategy focused on utilizing LPG for cooking and heating applications, as well as for electricity generation in the country.

However, the local production of LPG from all refineries of South Africa is inadequate to meet its local demand. This leads to the surged requirement for LPG imports in the country. The plan to power electricity grids using LPG and the risen LPG imports to cater to its demand in South Africa are expected to drive the growth of the market for LPG tankers in the country over the forecast period.

In October 2020, Bidvest, a South Africa-based gas distribution company, and Petredec Pte Limited commissioned a 22,600 tonnes mounded LPG storage facility, which has 24-hour road tanker and railcar loading facilities.
