New Puma Energy Malawi Managing Director Steveria Kadangwe has unveiled her vision for the company, with a strong focus on expanding into alternative and renewable energy solutions.
Kadangwe said Puma Energy Malawi aims to continue investing in clean energy initiatives, including solar power and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for cleaner cooking alternatives.
“At the moment, we are partnering with businesses by providing space for gas vendors. We are also exploring opportunities to directly supply gas,” Kadangwe said.
As part of the diversification strategy, Kadangwe said 14 Puma Energy sites in Malawi are already connected to solar power, and all Puma depots have operating solar energy.
Kadangwe said the company’s overarching goal is to meet customer needs by delivering services safely, reliably and sustainably.

She noted that Puma Energy holds a 23 percent market share in Malawi’s oil marketing industry, positioning itself as the country’s leading oil marketing company.
Kadangwe highlighted that one key area of contribution to the national economy is aviation infrastructure.
“Puma Energy has become the central hub of aircraft fueling, contributing to economic development such as tourism. We’re currently supplying 100 percent of jet fuel at Chileka Airport and Kamuzu International Airport,” she said.
She added that Puma Energy’s retail network has expanded significantly—from 45 sites in 2011 to a countrywide presence of 84 across all 28 districts.
