Ghana’s Ministry of Energy and Green Transition has approved a request by Ghana Gas for the shutdown of its Atuabo Gas Process Plant in the Western Region of Ghana for mandatory maintenance work.
The shutdown will occur on Saturday, 16th August 2025, and the maintenance is expected to be completed on Saturday, 30th August 2025.
The plant will undergo critical maintenance activities designed to enhance its operational efficiency and overall performance.
These activities include inspections, repairs, and upgrades to key equipment and systems.
The shutdown of Atuabo Gas Processing Plant will mean that there will be a shortfall of 120 mmscf of gas for power generation.
However, the Ministry, in a statement issued by Richmond Rockson Esq, Head of Communications, said the Ministry, in collaboration with key power sector players, had put in place comprehensive measures to mitigate any potential impact on power supply during the maintenance period.
“These measures include the strategic deployment of alternative fuel sources to ensure a stable and uninterrupted electricity supply across the country,” the statement pointed out.
The Ministry reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to maintaining reliable power supply at all times.
“We will keep the public informed by providing regular updates on the progress of the ongoing maintenance,” the statement concluded.
