The Ghana Gas Company Limited has successfully completed its tie- in works to the Volta River Authority at the Takoradi Regulating and Metering System at Aboadze in the Western Region.

Speaking to journalists after a working visit of the project site at the Aboadze, Head of Communications at Ghana Gas, Ernest Owusu Bempah Bonsu revealed that ninety percent of the projected work is complete.

“We are ahead of time and have been able to complete the major works that is a tie in to VRA doing about 110 million cubic feet of gas to generate about 600 megawatt of energy,” he noted.

Mr. Owusu Bempah said this development will ensure a reverse flow of gas and boost the Nigerian Gas flow of 90 million standard cubic feet of gas, which amount to 500 megawatt of power in the event of any shortfall to forestall any further power outages popularly known in local Ghanaian parlance as “dumsor”.
