The government has given the green light for the construction of a second gas processing plant to help mitigate the country’s energy challenges, Energy Minister John Jinapor has announced.
Addressing the press at the Jubilee House on Friday, March 7, Mr. Jinapor underscored the importance of strengthening Ghana’s energy infrastructure to guarantee a reliable power supply.
He further disclosed that Cabinet has endorsed a series of strategic initiatives designed to address the nation’s energy concerns in the short, medium, and long term.
“Cabinet has approved that in partnership with the Finance Ministry we take immediate steps in constructing a second gas processing plant. This gas processing plant will augment the shortfall and increase supply security,” he stated.
Ghana continues to grapple with power supply constraints driven by rising demand and inadequate gas processing capacity.
The planned gas processing plant aims to strengthen the country’s energy infrastructure by supporting existing facilities and ensuring a more stable natural gas supply for electricity generation.
