Energynewsafrica.com can confirm that the pipelines which some suspected arsonists attempted to set ablaze in Tema belong to Cirrus Oil and not VRA as reported in the media.
Head of Communications at the Ministry of Energy Nana Kofi Damoah revealed yesterday that some suspected arsonists attempted to set ablaze gas pipelines in Tema exclave apparently to cause power outages.
Some online portals reported that the pipelines belonged to the state power generation company Volta River Authority.
However, a visit to the scene confirmed that the said pipelines rather belonged to private oil firm Cirrus Oil Services Limited.
Environment, Health and Safety Manager at Cirrus Oil Services Limited, Dan Amehoe, confirmed the development to energynewsafrica.com.
He explained that the pipelines in question are not in use at the moment because they are newly constructed ones.
