The Chief Executive Officer of Ghana National Gas Company Limited, Judith Adjoba Blay, has assured Ghanaians and the Energy Minister that her outfit will complete the planned maintenance work of the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant ahead of the 10-day deadline and resume gas supply for power generation.
Mrs. Blay gave the assurance during a visit to the operational office of Ghana Gas in Takoradi by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Hon. John Jinapor, to inspect the progress of work following the shutdown of the gas processing plant on Saturday, August 16, 2025, for maintenance.
The maintenance work is expected to be completed on August 30, 2025. The Atuabo Gas Processing Plant supplies about 120 mmscf of gas for power generation. Besides the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant, Eni’s Offshore Gas Receiving Facility supplies 270 mmscf of gas, with additional gas from Nigeria for power generation.
In her welcome address, Mrs. Adjoba Blay stated, “We want to remain conservative; we will surprise you and call you even before the 10 days to tell you that the plant is back on.” She explained that some maintenance works are carried out over 5-to-10-year periods, while others are major and some have never been undertaken before.
The maintenance shutdown is a routine procedure aimed at enhancing the plant’s performance and preventing future disruptions. The Ministry assured the public that measures are in place to mitigate potential impacts on power supply, including the strategic deployment of alternative fuel sources.
