Italian oil and gas firm Eni is expected to increase gas supply for power generation in the Republic of Ghana, Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has revealed.
According to the Ministry, Eni will increase its natural gas production by 30 million standard cubic feet per day to ramp up its current production of 240 mmscf per day to 270 mmscf per day.
This will result in the temporary shutdown of Eni’s Offshore Gas Receiving Facility on Sunday, July 13, 2025, to allow for this strategic upgrading of the facility to receive the additional gas for export to power generation plants in the country.
This shutdown, according to the Ministry, will impact on the availability of gas for power generation.
In a statement issued by Richmond Rockson Esq., Head of Communication at the Ministry, it said the Ministry, in collaboration with key stakeholders in the power sector, has proactively implemented comprehensive measures to mitigate any potential disruptions.
“These measures include enhanced monitoring of power generation, and contingency plans to ensure minimal impact on power supply. We are confident that these proactive steps will effectively manage the transition and maintain a stable power supply for all citizens,” the statement said.
The Ministry expressed commitment to ensuring a stable and sustainable energy future for all.
“We appreciate the co-operation and understanding of the public and stakeholders during this period of enhancement,” the statement concluded.
