As part of reforms powered by President John Dramani Mahama in the energy sector of Ghanaian economy, latest negotiation has yielded Nigeria’s agreement to increase gas supply to Ghana from 70 to 100 million standard cubic feet, with discussions underway to scale it up to 150 million.
The Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Mr John Jinapor in an interview announced plans to construct a second gas processing plant, following Cabinet approval, to strengthen domestic gas utilisation and ensure reliable fuel supply for thermal power plants.
According to him, “The first gas processing plant was a game changer. We are now taking steps to construct a second one using indigenous gas.
Jinapor explained that those interventions, along with recent agreements worth $2 billion with Jubilee partners and $1.5 billion with Sankofa partners, were expected to reduce gas prices, increase consumption, and further boost crude oil output.
