GNPC Engages Tema Traditional Council On Proposed Tema City Gate Gas Project

The Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) said it has engaged the Tema Traditional Council on the proposed Tema City Gate Project as Ghana seeks to strengthen its natural gas infrastructure to support industrial growth and enhance long-term energy security.

The state-owned oil company said a delegation from GNPC recently met with the Tema Traditional Council to discuss the project, which is intended to improve the country’s natural gas transmission and distribution network.

Once completed, the Tema City Gate Project is expected to improve the reliability and efficiency of gas supplies to industries and other consumers, supporting economic growth and strengthening Ghana’s energy security, the company said.

GNPC said the engagement provided an opportunity to explain the strategic importance of the project and reaffirm its commitment to developing the project in consultation with host communities.

Social Performance Manager Patience Lartey said the meeting marked an important step toward building the trust needed to support the successful implementation of the project.

“We recognise that the successful implementation of a project goes beyond engineering and construction. Our engagement with the Traditional Council is intended to discuss the proposed project, better understand the community’s perspectives and explore opportunities for continued collaboration throughout its lifecycle,” Lartey said.

She added that stakeholder engagement remains central to the company’s approach to delivering projects that support national development priorities while addressing local community needs.

GNPC said the engagement forms part of its broader efforts to collaborate with stakeholders as it expands energy infrastructure and develops Ghana’s petroleum resources.
