Ghana’s national gas aggregator, Ghana Gas, has announced that it will shut down its Gas Processing Plant and Offshore Gas Export Facilities in the Western Region effective tomorrow, August 1, to 17th August 2024.
The shutdown is to enable critical safety and essential maintenance works to enhance the plant’s operational efficiency and uninterrupted gas supply.
This was contained in a statement issued by the company on Wednesday, July 31, 2024.
The company said during this period, Lean Gas from Sankofa OTCP field would be available for delivery at the Takoradi Distribution Station (TDS).
“Ghana Gas deeply regrets any inconveniences that the shutdown may cause but assures the public that there will be uninterrupted power supply during the shutdown period,” it said.
Earlier this month energynewsafrica.com got the hint that Ghana Gas would shut down the plant for mandatory maintenance works.
Sources indicated that the government had made alternative arrangements to ensure that there was adequate fuel supply to power generation companies (GenCos) to enable them to continue to generate power.
