The Ghana National Gas Company Limited has completed the planned maintenance works on its Atuabo Gas Processing Plant in the Western Region.
According to the company, “The entire maintenance activities ended in the late hours of Wednesday, April 5, 2023, ahead of the scheduled date of completion.”
A statement issued on April 7 and signed by the Head of Corporate Communications, Ernest Kofi Owusu-Bempah Bonsu indicated that the gas processing plant is currently at a flow rate of 90mmscfd.
It would be recalled that Ghana Gas, on March 25, shut down the Atuabo Gas Processing Plant for mandatory maintenance works.
The shutdown affected the gas supply to some power plants, thereby, resulting in a shortfall in generation by 150 Megawatts.
The Electricity Company Limited, as a result, released a load-shedding timetable from March 30 to April 7 between 6 pm and 11 pm.
Load shedding is expected to end now that the maintenance work has been completed.
Meanwhile, the Management of Ghana Gas has thanked the general public for their patience and cooperation during the maintenance period.
