Fuel pump prices began falling in Ghana on Tuesday, June 16, with the commencement of the second pricing window, following a decline in refined petroleum product prices on the international market.
The Chamber of Oil Marketing Companies (COMAC) projected thfat petrol prices would decrease by between 7.23% and 9.31%, diesel by 0.51% to 1.65%, and LPG by 0.20% to 0.52% during the second pricing window of June.
In Ghana, fuel prices are reviewed every two weeks. The first pricing window runs from the 1st to the 15th of each month, while the second pricing window begins on the 16th and ends on the 30th.
According to data published by the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), the regulator of Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector, petrol prices on the international market declined from US$1,166.08 per metric tonne to US$988.77 per metric tonne. Diesel prices fell from US$1,175.95 per metric tonne to US$1,056.38 per metric tonne, while LPG prices dropped from US$815.23 per metric tonne to US$652.65 per metric tonne.
Based on the decline in refined petroleum product prices on the international market and prevailing market dynamics, the regulator published new fuel floor prices. Petrol prices were reduced to GH¢13.39 per litre from GH¢15.20 per litre in the first pricing window of June.
This represents a decrease of GH¢1.81 per litre, equivalent to nearly 12%.
Diesel prices were reduced to GH¢15.11 per litre from GH¢15.49 per litre in the first pricing window of June, representing a decline of GH¢0.38 per litre, or about 2.5%.
For LPG, the price floor was reduced to GH¢13.23 per kilogram from GH¢13.48 per kilogram, a decline of GH¢0.25 per kilogram, or about 1.9%.
The price floors represent the minimum benchmark prices at which Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) and LPG Marketing Companies (LPGMCs) are expected to retail petroleum products during the second pricing window of June.
As of Tuesday morning, two of Ghana’s major oil marketing companies had adjusted their pump prices.
GOIL PLC, the market leader, revised its prices as follows:
- Petrol (Regular): GH¢13.87 per litre
- Petrol (RON 95): GH¢16.87 per litre
- Diesel: GH¢15.95 per litre
Star Oil also revised its pump prices:
- Petrol (Regular): GH¢13.85 per litre
- Petrol (RON 95): GH¢15.77 per litre
- Diesel: GH¢15.93 per litre
Other OMCs are expected to review their pump prices in the coming days.
It will further strengthen the reliability and stability of electricity supply in the region, reducing network constraints and improving power quality for consumers.
The project will additionally provide Konza Technopolis with access to adequate and reliable green energy from some of Kenya’s key renewable energy sources, including Kipeto Wind Power, the Olkaria Geothermal Power Plants, and the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project in Loiyangalani, as well as hydroelectric power imported from Ethiopia.
These diverse energy sources are transmitted through the national grid via the Suswa 400kV Substation and the existing Isinya 400kV Substation, ensuring a robust and sustainable power supply to support the growth of the country’s premier smart city.
The successful completion of the project underscores Kenya’s continued investment in modern energy infrastructure aimed at accelerating industrialization, enhancing regional connectivity, and advancing the country’s transition to a sustainable and reliable power system. 
The Chief Executive of the National Petroleum Authority, Mr. Godwin Tameklo, received the keys to the facility and subsequently handed them over to the National Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, Mr. George Nyaunu.
The facility, designed as a place of rest and rejuvenation, is intended to enhance the welfare, operational efficiency, and safety of fuel tanker drivers.
Expressing his appreciation for the gesture, Mr. Tameklo said the facility would help rewrite the long-standing and unpleasant practice of drivers and their assistants resting on road shoulders whenever they became fatigued.
He commended Rock Africa for its benevolence and called on other industry players to emulate the company’s example by investing in initiatives that improve the welfare and working conditions of petroleum tanker drivers.
For his part, the Chief Executive Officer of Rock Africa, Mr. Francis Gavor, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to improving the working conditions and welfare of drivers who play a critical role in Ghana’s downstream petroleum sector.
Receiving the facility on behalf of the drivers, the National Chairman of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union, Mr. George Nyaunu, pledged that the union would maintain the facility to the highest standards to ensure its sustainability and continued benefit to tanker drivers.
He noted that students across the country have, over the years, developed practical solutions to challenges in agriculture, clean cooking, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
He said that although 
“This initiative expands the use of electricity beyond cooking to transportation, with the aim of improving the quality of life of citizens, reducing the cost of living and stimulating national economic growth,” Ndejembi said.
He noted that the government has continued to make significant investments in the energy sector, enabling Tanzania’s electricity generation capacity to exceed 4,000 megawatts and laying the foundation for broader electricity use across various sectors of the economy.
To support the adoption of electric mobility, TANESCO, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), has received 50 modern EV charging units from China’s AUTEL company. The chargers will be installed at strategic locations across the country to improve access to charging services.
On his part, 
He said the free charging service will be available for one month from June 11, 2026, as part of efforts to encourage Tanzanians, particularly residents of Dodoma, to adopt clean and environmentally friendly transport technologies.
The launch of the charging station is expected to accelerate the adoption of electric mobility in Tanzania while supporting government efforts to reduce transportation costs, lower fuel consumption and mitigate the effects of climate change. 
Eskom said Eskom Green would initially target large industrial users before expanding its services to municipalities, the South African Wholesale Electricity Market (SAWEM), the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), and distribution customers.
The company plans to have about 6 gigawatts (GW) of carbon-free electricity available by 2030 through a portfolio of renewable energy and storage projects currently under development.
The longer-term target is to develop up to 32 GW of renewable energy and storage capacity by 2040.
A total of 17 priority projects have been identified across Eskom’s existing coal-fired power station sites, leveraging existing infrastructure to add approximately 6 GW of capacity by 2030. These include renewable energy, battery storage and pumped-storage projects.
Among the first developments is a 75-megawatt solar photovoltaic project at the Lethabo power station in South Africa’s Free State province. Eskom said a similar approach would be pursued at other sites, including the Komati power station.
The utility said funding for the initial phase of projects had been allocated within its approved capital expenditure programme and would not require additional project-finance borrowing. Future projects are expected to be financed through special purpose vehicles (SPVs), public-private partnerships and other co-development structures.
According to Eskom, the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) 2025 projects that South Africa will require 5.6 GW of new renewable energy capacity by 2030, rising to 21 GW by 2035 and 32 GW by 2040.
The utility said Eskom Green would work alongside private sector developers to help close the country’s generation capacity gap while supporting national emissions-reduction goals and long-term energy security.
