The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) led by its Board Chairperson visited the Tema Oil Refinery on Wednesday to learn about the refinery’s resumption of crude refining after more than six years of dormancy.
The refinery restarted crude refining in late December 2025 after major maintenance work.
It is currently processing 28,000 barrels per stream day, and management hopes to bring additional units online to increase processing capacity to 45,000 barrels per stream day and eventually 55,000 barrels per stream day.
The visit by GRIDCo top officials aimed to officially congratulate TOR’s management on restoring refinery operations after prolonged inactivity.
The delegation also explored collaboration avenues between GRIDCo and TOR, supporting the Government’s reset agenda, particularly in strengthening strategic state-owned enterprises.
The GRIDCo delegation included its Board Chairperson, Mrs. Kuukua Maurice Ankara, Esq., board members, the Chief Executive Officer, Ing. Mark Awuah Baah and senior management officials.
They were warmly received by Mr. Edmond Kombat, Esq., Managing Director of TOR, and his management team.
The resumption of operations at TOR marks a historic milestone, reaffirming its readiness to strengthen Ghana’s downstream petroleum industry and deliver value to Ghanaians.
