Ghana Gas showcases investment opportunities at Global energy show in Canada
Chief Executive Officer of Ghana National Gas Limited Company (Ghana Gas), Judith Adjobah Blay, has highlighted Ghana’s growing potential in the natural gas sector at the ongoing Global Energy Show in Calgary, Canada.
Addressing participants at the international energy conference, Blay underscored Ghana Gas’ critical role in strengthening the country’s energy security and driving economic growth.
She revealed that Ghana Gas currently supplies approximately 84 percent of the fuel used by Ghana’s thermal power plants, a contribution that helps the country save an estimated US$1.3 billion annually in fuel costs. The company also generates an additional US$60 million in savings through the supply of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
According to the CEO, Ghana Gas has also played a key role in advancing regional energy integration through its partnership with the West African Gas Pipeline. The collaboration has enhanced gas transmission across the sub-region and reinforced Ghana’s position as a major player in the West African gas market.
Looking ahead, Blay outlined several strategic projects aimed at expanding Ghana’s gas infrastructure and improving energy reliability nationwide.
The projects include the construction of a second Gas Processing Plant (GPP II), which is expected to increase gas processing capacity and improve supply reliability. She also announced plans for a 300-kilometre onshore gas transmission pipeline to extend access to natural gas across the country.
In addition, she highlighted the Pentane Monetization Project, an initiative designed to reduce hydrocarbon flaring while supporting Ghana Gas’ environmental sustainability objectives.
Blay further promoted Ghana as an attractive destination for long-term energy investments, citing the country’s stable political environment, robust legal and regulatory framework, and strategic location within West Africa.
She encouraged international investors and industry stakeholders to explore opportunities within Ghana’s expanding energy sector, emphasizing the country’s commitment to sustainable growth and energy development.
