GOIL PLC is embracing bold innovations to redefine fuel retailing in Ghana, positioning itself for a future shaped by digital transformation and clean energy technologies. Group CEO and Managing Director, Mr. Edward Abambire Bawa, announced this move during a high-level engagement with dealers from the South, South-East, and Tema Zones — the final session in a nationwide stakeholder tour covering all operational zones.
At the center of GOIL’s transformation is the GOIL Fuel Management System, a state-of-the-art innovation being rolled out across its service stations. The system will enable dealers to track inventory in real-time, optimize stock levels, and eliminate inefficiencies, all while enhancing transparency and customer satisfaction.
“We’re not just selling fuel anymore. We’re delivering smart, data-driven energy solutions,” Mr. Bawa said. “Innovation is how we’ll stay competitive and relevant in a rapidly changing world.” GOIL is also preparing for the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) by initiating plans to install EV charging ports at selected stations.
Mr. Bawa confirmed an ongoing collaboration with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) to inform EV infrastructure planning. “GOIL will not wait for the future to arrive — we are building it now,” he stressed. “Our vision is to be at the forefront of Ghana’s shift to sustainable energy by making our network EV-ready.”
The CEO further noted that renovations will commence at over 270 service stations, designed not only to improve aesthetics and service delivery but also to integrate smart technology and future capabilities. He called on the government for continued support in fair and timely allocation of laycans — essential permits that enable petroleum imports.
This support, he said, will help GOIL import competitively and stabilize fuel supply and prices nationwide. These moves are anchored in five strategic pillars: delivering premium customer experience, ensuring product availability, deepening dealer partnerships, building trust as a national brand, and driving innovation.
“Our brand was built on trust, but it will grow on innovation,” Mr. Bawa concluded. “GOIL is not just keeping up — we’re setting the pace for energy transformation in Ghana.”
