Gas: A Tried and True Solution to Accessing Energy in Developing Countries
History shows that the introduction or increased supply of gas as an alternative energy source has a transformative impact on economies.

The construction schedule of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant is approximately 30 to 36 months, with open cycle capability often being available after roughly 20 months. The feasibility, licensing, and financial close process of these projects can take 2 to 5 years. In the interim, many other users would be able to use the gas if it was available.
