A Member of Parliament on the Energy Committee has urged the government to make urgent coordinated investments in Ghana's gas supply chain and electricity transmission infrastructure, arguing that persistent sector weaknesses are driving recurring power challenges. He noted that thermal generation, which accounts for over 60% of power output, is constrained by gas shortages and that Ghana Gas alone cannot meet thermal generation needs, calling for prioritised funding for gas supply and long-term structural solutions rather than temporary fixes.
Ghana Gas shut down its Atuabo Gas Processing Plant after a critical control unit failed due to power fluctuations on April 14, causing the plant's control software to crash. Engineers switched the facility to manual mode and resumed operations after about six hours, with a second brief shutdown later required to install a replacement control unit and restore the software system.
Parliament's Energy and Petroleum Select Committee has visited the Ghana Gas processing plant to oversee operations and seek clarity on recent operational disruptions at the Atuabo facility that raised public concern over gas supply to power plants. The committee is conducting nationwide inspections of agencies under the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition as part of its constitutional oversight mandate.
Ghana National Gas Company has raised gas processing volumes from 100 to 120 million standard cubic feet per day and secured authorization to procure a third compressor, expected to reduce plant shutdowns and strengthen transmission reliability over 18–24 months. The state-owned processor reported healthy profit growth despite currency volatility and tariff constraints.
