From Gas Trader to Energy Architect: Olakunle Williams’ Expanding Tetracore Empire
\Most energy companies pick a lane. Olakunle Williams built one that keeps merging with the next. His Tetracore Energy Group started in 2022 trading gas and has since acquired power
Olakunle Williams, a former tax consultant at Deloitte, has transformed his energy trading firm Tetracore Energy Group into a rapidly expanding conglomerate since its inception in 2022. The company has swiftly acquired power licences, a data centre partnership, and is in the process of constructing a fertiliser plant, all within a span of four years.
The latest addition to the group's portfolio is a power generation and distribution licence in Edo State, which was granted after meeting the state's regulatory requirements. Tetracore Power Company, a subsidiary of the group, is set to build on this milestone with the support of the state government. The company already operates a 40 million standard cubic feet per day city-gate gas facility in Edo, supplying various manufacturers and auto-CNG stations.
The power licence allows Tetracore to convert its gas relationship into electricity sales, creating a new revenue stream. Nationally, Tetracore trades over 90 million standard cubic feet of gas daily to industrial customers, including Dangote Cement's Ibese plant, and supports more than 300 megawatts of generation at client sites.
The company's Atakobo plant in Ogun State already supplies 20 megawatts to industries around Ijebu-Ode. With a background in tax consulting, Williams has strategically guided Tetracore's growth, diversifying its operations beyond its original identity as a gas trader.
