The Implementation Committee for the Second Gas Processing Plant (GPP II) has submitted its final report to the Steering Committee at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
This marks progress in Ghana’s efforts to expand domestic gas processing and enhance energy security for the industrial and power sectors’ needs.
The report outlines a roadmap for delivering GPP II and related infrastructure, following a month of technical, financial, regulatory, and stakeholder consultations. The Committee worked under the guidance of the Ministers for Energy and Green Transition and Finance, who co-chaired the Interministerial Steering Committee.
The Committee’s findings highlight the project’s benefits, including annual savings of up to $1 billion by cutting liquid fuel imports. It also estimates the recovery of Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) worth about $151 million per year and the creation of more than 2,500 direct and indirect jobs during construction and operation. Additionally, the project could position Ghana as a regional hub for gas processing and energy exports.
The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, acknowledged the report, noting that “Today’s submission shows our dedication to advancing Ghana’s gas sector. GPP II will help achieve energy independence, create jobs, and support industrial growth. We appreciate the Committee’s hard work and will move quickly on its recommendations.”
He thanked the Core Technical Committee Chairman, Richard Gyan-Mensah, the Deputy Minister for Energy & Green Transition, Project Development Coordinator Mr. Guure Brown Guure, and all Committee members for their contributions.
The Minister reiterated the government’s commitment to advancing the GPP II project to harness Ghana’s gas resources for long-term economic growth.
