Our ORIGINS
Dating back to 1892, when a 30 metre gas pipeline was first installed in President Street for street lighting
purposes, Johannesburg has remained the only South African city with piped gas infrastructure.
Originally managed by the Johannesburg Council’s Department of Water and Gas, which from 1928 operated from Cottesloe, the City’s gas infrastructure relied on highly pollutant, hydrogen-rich coal based gas. From 1952 to 1991, this gas was produced at the Cottesloe Gas Works.
In 1992, the Department, then known as Metro Gas, took the decision to discontinue production at the Cottesloe Gas Works and purchased its entire gas requirement from Sasol Gas.
In 1999, when the Council recognized the critical need for a massive capital injection into Metro Gas, the Egoli Gas Consortium (a joint venture between US-based Cinergy Global Power and Egoli Empowerment Holdings) bought Metro Gas.
The privatization deal was concluded on 18 August 2000, the founding date of Egoli Gas (Pty) Ltd.
During 2004 to 2005, the entire pipeline network as well as approximately 35 000 individual gas fired pieces of equipment of consumers were successfully converted from hydrogen-rich coal-based gas to methane-rich, natural gas due to the change in specification of gas by the supplier.
As such, Egoli Gas’ footprint extends from Midrand in the north to Orange Farm in the south and from
Roodepoort in the west to Bruma in the east.
