Ghana’s petroleum downstream regulator, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), on Monday hosted Chief Executives of the country’s downstream petroleum sector to an exclusive breakfast meeting in Accra.

The meeting aimed to deepen stakeholder engagement, improve the regulatory framework, and provide opportunities for networking to support strategic growth in the industry.

The NPA Chief Executive, Mr. Godwin Kudzo Tameklo Esq., led the Authority’s team in discussions. Also present were Deputy CE Dr. Sheila Addo and members of the Executive Committee of the Authority.

In his remarks, Mr. Tameklo noted that recent geopolitical tensions and conflicts across parts of the world continue to affect global energy markets.

He, however, assured industry players that Ghana remains confident in its pricing policy framework and supply security arrangements.

“Government interventions over the past two windows (GHS2.00 per litre on Diesel and GHS36 per litre on Petrol) and the next two windows (GHS1.07 per litre on Diesel) were well thought through, with the risks to your businesses carefully considered,” he said.

Hon. Dr. Jinapor, for his part, affirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring uninterrupted supply of petroleum products to support economic growth and stability.

The meeting concluded with agreement on key actions to be implemented to grow and sustain the downstream petroleum sector.
