The Implementation Committee for the Second Gas Processing Plant (GPP II) has presented its final report to the Steering Committee at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition.
This submission represents a significant milestone in Ghana’s initiative to enhance domestic gas processing capabilities and strengthen energy security for industrial and power sector development.
Key findings of the Committee indicate the project’s potential to:
* Save Ghana up to $1 billion annually by reducing reliance on liquid fuel imports.
* Recover Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) valued at approximately $151 million per year.
* Generate over 2,500 direct and indirect jobs during both the construction and operational phases.
* Establish Ghana as a regional hub for gas processing and energy exports.
Upon receiving the report, the Minister for Energy and Green Transition stated, “Today’s submission reflects our commitment to advancing Ghana’s gas future. GPP II is not merely a project; it is a crucial tool for achieving energy independence, fostering job creation and driving industrial transformation. We commend the Committee for its dedication and clarity, and we are determined to act swiftly on its recommendations.”
The Minister also extended sincere gratitude to the Chairman of the Core Technical Committee, Hon. Richard Gyan-Mensah (MP) and Deputy Minister for Energy & Green Transition, the Project Development Coordinator, Guure Brown Guure and all Implementation Committee members for their relentless efforts, strategic insights, and unwavering dedication to the national interest.
The Ministry reaffirms the Government’s full commitment to ensuring that the GPP II project progresses smoothly into execution, unlocking Ghana’s gas potential for long-term value and inclusive growth.
