GS2E digitalises energy sector oversight
The Générale de Services Pétroliers et Énergétiques (GS2E) has launched a major initiative to digitalise and modernise data infrastructure across Côte d’Ivoire’s energy sector. As the technical arm of the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy, GS2E has introduced a revamped data processing and visualisation platform designed to improve access to operational data for public institutions and stakeholders. This system, developed under the supervision of the Direction Générale des Hydrocarbures, allows real-time monitoring of fuel distribution, storage, and consumption, aiming to boost transparency and energy governance.
The platform was introduced during a recent technical workshop led by the Direction des Systèmes d’Information et de l’Archivage (DSIA). The event brought together representatives from energy companies, government departments, and oversight agencies. This digital transformation forms part of GS2E’s broader mission to provide technical assistance, manage sectoral data, and contribute to national energy resilience in an era of rising fuel demand and environmental concerns.

GS2E leads in infrastructure modernisation
GS2E’s role has become increasingly important as West African economies modernise their energy infrastructure. The company’s strategic shift towards data-centric solutions mirrors regional trends, where digitalisation is essential to improve regulatory compliance, ensure supply chain stability, and manage fuel subsidies. The new platform also supports analytical capabilities for stakeholders to detect discrepancies and enforce corrective actions more effectively. This comes amid heightened scrutiny of fuel distribution systems in Côte d’Ivoire and efforts to reduce inefficiencies.
According to GS2E’s official site, the organisation has continually worked to adapt its services to technological evolution, responding to the increasing need for reliable data in policy planning. Challenges persist, particularly around digital literacy within public entities and integrating legacy systems with modern tools. However, GS2E’s approach—building internal expertise and facilitating cross-sector cooperation—demonstrates a replicable model for other countries in the region aiming to improve energy management through digital innovation.
