Flamboyans Services Positions Gabon as Frontier Market for Gas-to-Power Investment, Affirms CEO Yann Pierre Yangari
In an exclusive interview granted to The Energy Year, Yann Pierre Albert Livulibutt YANGARI, Founder and CEO of Flamboyans Services, articulated a robust vision for Gabon’s hydrocarbon future, emphasizing the critical nexus of regulatory reform and infrastructure development. Speaking ahead of major industry summits, Mr. Yangari detailed how recent revisions to the national hydrocarbons framework are catalyzing renewed interest from upstream investors. He highlighted that Flamboyans Services, operating since 2016, serves as a strategic bridge between international capital and local operational realities. « The successful proliferation of Independent Power Producers (IPPs) in Africa hinges on stronger guarantee mechanisms and a deep understanding of local constraints, » Mr. Yangari stated. He noted that many projects across Sub-Saharan Africa fail to reach Final Investment Decisions (FIDs) precisely because they are designed in a vacuum, lacking the granular business intelligence that Flamboyans Services provides regarding the Ministries of Energy and Oil & Gas. The CEO underscored that gas-to-power is not merely an ancillary opportunity but a cornerstone for industrial growth in Gabon. By aligning government priorities with investor financial objectives—covering everything from Production Sharing Agreements (PSAs) to Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs)—Flamboyans Services is currently structuring bankable assets that promise stable offtake and long-term profitability. « We do not just offer advice; we ensure every project is structured to meet international standards while navigating local decision-making processes efficiently, » he concluded.
